Basque clash at Hernani City Hall amid ETA protest violence
Armed Basque police bar pro ETA protesters from Hernani City Hall as they attempt to lay cremated remains of ETA member Elain Ruiz to honor him after a car bomb attack killed eight, including three ETA members, last August. The scene follows a deadly Basque bombing that killed two Civil Guard agents, part of a renewed wave of violence after ETA ended a 14 month cease-fire. The piece frames Basque history, ETA’s aims, and Spanish political response in Bilbao and across the Basque provinces.
