Pamplona, May 6 (EFE) .- Authorities, relatives and friends of the UPN councilor Tomás Caballero, killed on May 6, 1998 by ETA when he was going to his work at the Pamplona Consistory, have attended this Tuesday in the cemetery of the Navarre capital to an act of memory of the regionalist mayor.
The mayor of Pamplona, Joseba Assirón (from EH Bildu); the Minister of Coexistence, Ana Ollo; the Government delegate in Navarra, Alicia Echeverría; UPN President Cristina Ibarrola; Deputies, parliamentarians and councilors of Pamplona.
After a response to Tomás Caballero’s niche, one of his children has intervened, Javier Caballero, who thanked the presence in this act of those who are “in favor of life, of the dignity of people already favor human rights against those who thought that the use of violence, that removing life can be an instrument of political action.”
“We are therefore in an act of memory that does not allow the page, in an act of truth, an act of repair and an act of justice with all those who, like my father, were unfairly killed and with all those who suffered in one way or another the scourge of ETA terrorism,” he said.
In addition, he has declared that this act “must be a commitment to which all Pamplones are invited with memory and truth in the story, with the dignity of the victims, with reparation and with justice.”
Mayor Joseba Asiron, from EH Bildu, who has placed a crown of flowers before the niche of Tomás Caballero, has told the media that this is always a moment of meeting with the family and with the friends of Tomás Caballero to express that we are with them very close in the pain “and to remember that this murder was” an unfair death. “
When asked about the appeals to EH Bildu to condemn terrorism, the mayor has wanted to “deny the eldest” because “I have made violence of violence a motto of life long before entering politics.”
For this reason, he has highlighted, the day after the murder of Caballero signed “without hesitation” a statement in which “this attack was explicitly rejected”, “in the same terms in which he would have done so today.”
“We disagree on many things every day in the City Council, points of disagreement in lots of issues are manifested, but I believe that in respect for life and in the rejection of violence in general, and specifically in the rejection of the unfair death of Tomás Caballero, there is no discrepancy,” he said.
