The tribute of the Basque pp took place in the cemetery of Zarautz, where a neighbour of Zarautz died. On the same day, the party president, Pablo Casado, wrote on his Twitter account: “The victims will always be in our memory and we regret that the Spanish Government pacts this week with those who have visited the terrorists and threaten to topple the regime.”
No one in the family in the tribute
Mikel Iruretagoiena responded to Casado using the same social network as last Sunday: “Mr. Casado, I am the child who appears in that photo. I would like to tell him that today your tribute to my father has been very nice. So nice, that no family member has been present on the spot. Continue to act in this way with the families of the victims, which will go very well for you. Stop living the victims, it is time for your policy to be based on more than on our dead. Leave my father alone, please!”
Because we're about to follow, with the families of the victims, that you're really angry. Stop living from the victims, it's time for your politics to be based on something more than our dead. Leave my aita at peace, please! (2/2) @CovitePV
