They condemn the machist murder of Aintzane Pujana in the capitals of Hego Euskal Herria
- The four capitals of Hego Euskal Herria have hosted concentrations convened by the Women's World March of Euskal Herria on January 22. Aintzane Pujana's was considered the first Machista murder of the year just begun.
The World Women’s March (EMM) has declared in a press release that 2012 has started with a strong start on violence against women. It has denounced that the pandemic of male violence has been going on for centuries in this world and no one cares about it. They have warned that they are not willing to bear the disease and have warned that feminism is the only antidote. In this context of health crisis, they have assured that, although they believe it is more difficult to maintain relations, they have not lost the strength to fight violence, they have said.
Pujana, a 32-year-old Donostian woman, died on 4 January in the Etxabe district of Aizarnazabal, on the banks of the Urola River. The disappearance was denounced by her partner on 1 January, according to the same source. According to investigations by the Ertzaintza, Pujana was stabbed in the early morning of 2 January after a clash in which he was injured. The alleged murderers are two neighbours of Errenteria who lived with the victim in the apartment of a rural house in Aizarnazabal: One of them, a 24-year-old male, and the other, a 23-year-old woman, have been arrested. The three were arrested on 12 January and are in Martutene prison in Donostia-San Sebastián.
On 21 January, Azpeitia’s Examining Court No. 1 included two points on the list of crimes of the alleged murderers. Judges of the Examining Court: sexual restraint and exploitation of women. The judge decided to open the accusations after collecting evidence from the Ertzaintza and making a statement to the defendants at the trial.

The case of Gisèle Pélicot shows a problem that goes beyond rape: the complicity of men in the face of male violence. What is worrying is not only aggression, but the silence of the men who, knowing what happened, decided not to denounce the situation. This pact of silence,... [+]
