The Spanish government is passing with this purpose the so-called
Parties Law. However, that sinister character Judge Garzón
who so-may offices, group, newspapers, etc. has closed down and
who has put so many people belonging to this initiatives in prison
wanted to have a go in the dismantling of the Basque separatist
left.
In this case he decided to press charges for the damages caused
in the endless riots in the Basque Country the so-called
Kale Borroka or Street Struggle. The fine is the equivalent to
the costs of these damages.
Therefore Judge Garzón has gone ahead with his diabolic
plan of seizing all the bank accounts (109) belonging to this
political party and premises (74) including offices, meeting rooms
and social centres (Herrikoak = pubs) and even an allotment plot
Garzón makes the party Batasuna responsible for damages
of a total of 24,3 million Euros (£15m). This is based in
a report by the Spanish Police UCI (Intelligence Central Unit).
At the same time Garzón orders the police to immobilise
Batasunas assets.
