Jump To Comment: 2 1Today after being taken before the judge in the Spanish Special Court pro-independence spokespersons Pernando Barrena and Patxi Urrutia have been sent to prison.
In the meantime, pressure and threat to ban the two remaining legal political parties from the left pro-independence movement is increasing. EHAK/Basque Communist Party of the Basque Lands has 9 MP's at the three western Basque provinces local parliament and ANV/Basque Nationalist Action is the 80 year-old party who fought Spanish fascism in the 1936 war and has hundreds of councillors and mayors all around the Basque Country.
Two more arrested,yesterday,and tomorrow???
In a short time the spanish goverment illegalization two politicals parties, because the repression is the only spanish solution to the basque conflict.
But the basques country resist all the spanish attacks,because the basque people fight for freedom.
Freedom for the Basque Country!
