Spanish judge Santiago Pedraz summoned the mayor of Hernani to give evidence January 24.
Marian Beitialarrangoitia, Mayor of the Basque town of Hernani, took part in a political rally of the left-wing party ANV to present the list of candidates for the March parliamentary vote. During the rally, Beitialarrangoitia requested a round of applause for Igor Portu and Mattin Sarasola, two presumed members of the armed Basque group ETA arrested last week.
Santiago Pedraz took that decision because her conduct is thought to be a praising of terrorism, legal sources reported. She can be sentenced to 2 years in prison for this crime.
