Spain’s Supreme Court on Tuesday unanimously agreed the banning of the Basque leftist party ANV and its dissolution as political party, after considering the lawsuits brought by the Spanish Government and the Public Prosecutor’s office, the president of the court Francisco Jose Hernando reported.

Hernando explained that the statement against that party, suspended since last February following a court order by the Spanish High Court judge Baltasar Garzon, supposes “liquidation of everything related to that party”.

On Wednesday, the 16 magistrates in Sala 61 of the Supreme Court will begin the process to begin the banning of the Basque leftist party EHAK as Prosecutor’s Office also brought a lawsuit against it.
