The three parties represented in the Urnieta Town Hall –EAJ-PNV, EH Bildu, and PSE-EE– have agreed on an institutional declaration. Through this document, the municipal corporation expresses its rejection of the graffiti carried out at the Azkorte hermitage on the night of Saturday to Sunday. The graffiti alluded to various political groups, unions, and political representatives.
The reprehensible and unacceptable threats that have occurred have no place and are totally against the coexistence of Urnieta.
Through this declaration, the Town Hall states that the “reprehensible and unacceptable” threats that have occurred “have no place and are totally against the coexistence of Urnieta”. Furthermore, it reaffirms its commitment to a “plural, inclusive, and respectful Urnieta, where coexistence among different people is a fundamental pillar”. Therefore, “no form of intimidation and targeting can be normalized”. The consistory expresses its solidarity and support for the threatened union and political parties, as well as their representatives.
The Azkorte hermitage is a heritage asset of special value for the municipality and highly valued by its citizens. The Town Hall has already given the order to repaint the walls and restore the hermitage to its previous state, while considering it “essential” to publicly condemn this type of behavior to prevent it from recurring.
