Basque Nationalist Party PNV and Basque Socialist Party PSE-EE were the only two parties that supported the vote of censure proposed by them against the members of the Basque leftist party ANV that govern in the Basque town of Arrasate, for not condemning the attacks by the Basque armed group ETA.
Only the two parties supported the initiative during Thursday’s plenary meeting as the members of Spanish Popular party PP, Basque nationalist party EA and two councillors of the leftist party EB-Zutik abstained and the Basque leftist parties ANV and Aralar and another city councillor of EB-Zutik voted against it.
ANV members of the Basque town of Arrasate did not condemn March 7 attack in which the former socialist city councillor Isaias Carrasco was shot dead by the Basque armed group ETA. For this reason, the Basque Socialist Party PSE and the Basque Nationalist Party PNV proposed a vote of censure against the mayor of Arrasate.
