Julen Madariaga dies
- Agirre died on the night of 5 April, at the age of 88. He was one of the founders of ETA in 1959 and lived both prison and exile. In the 1990s, ETA applied for arms abandonment and left Herri Batasuna for not publicly denouncing the murder of Gregorio Ordóñez. In 2001 he joined the Aralar Stream and in 2004 he joined the Spanish Senate lists. In 2014 he published his testimony in the book Egiari zor.
Julen Madariaga 2014an. Argazkia: Dani Blanco.
Here you can read the interview that ARGIA journalist Xabier Letona gave him in 2014 on the book Egiari zor: "Weapons can be handed over to anyone except Madrid and Paris."
And this other interview was done in 1983. "We have always acted in defence of full independence," added lehendakari.
Another interview in 1991: "The process towards independence is going further and further," Lehendakari said.
