MADRID, 22 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The judge of the National High Court investigating the involvement of the ETA leadership in the attack perpetrated on May 30, 2003 in the Navarrese city of Sangüesa, which killed two policemen, has asked the National Police and Civil Guard to give an account of the state of the reports that they were entrusted to prepare on June 20.
In an ordering procedure, to which Europa Press has had access, the Central Investigating Court Number 1 orders to issue “two official documents to the UCE-1 of the Civil Guard and the General Information Commissioner (of the National Police), so that they report of the status of compliance with the reports required by trades of last June 20”.
In this way, it meets the request made by the Dignity and Justice Association (DyJ), which in a letter last week requested the National Court to give a “procedural boost” to these investigations.
In his letter, DyJ was aware of “the great workload and the commendable effort on the part” of the National Police and the Civil Guard, but at the same time he drew attention to the fact that for this crime there is no ” sentenced to date”, “neither as material perpetrator nor as mediate perpetrator”.
“This party understands that we are here before a particularly sensitive case, in which the two fatalities and their families have been left in a particularly serious situation of total sustained impunity for 19 years,” he stressed.
Along the same lines, he highlighted that these are “two of the 379 completely unpunished cases of ETA that have been recognized by the European Parliament in its recent resolution.”
Judge Alejandro Abascal admitted last April DyJ’s complaint against the eight members of the executive committee of ETA or ZUBA at the time of the attack.
The instructor underlined that these former ETA chiefs sought during their mandate “to create a state of total terror”, to generate the feeling “of not knowing where the next attack was going to come from.”
Abascal emphasized that the sequence of attacks that began on May 30, 2003 with the events in Sangüesa “was nothing more than the beginning of a terrorist ‘offensive’, of a strategic shift, clearly different from the preceding months or year, and that plagued the Spanish geography with explosive devices.
