  • The lawsuit by the association Dignity and Justice could allow a judge to investigate the murder of Luis Hergueta by ETA-pm in 1980.
  • The leader of EH Bildu, Arnaldo Otegi, may be investigated for his possible involvement in obtaining information during a previous kidnapping.
  • The Attorney General's Office, led by Álvaro García Ortiz, refused to extend the investigations, leading to the case being filed away.
  • The attitude of the Attorney General's Office contrasts with its insistence on reopening a supposed case of torture during Franco's dictatorship.
  • The entity led by Daniel Portero (whose father was killed by ETA) requests the reopening of the case and that Otegi be summoned as a suspect.
  • Victims of terrorism deserve to know the truth of the events, regardless of possible statutory limitations.

Conclusion: Institutions should prioritize efforts to clarify the facts of terrorism, rather than pursuing potentially time-barred and amnestied cases.
