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.
