Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would amend Law 29/2011 to ban the public display of monuments, crests, plaques and other objects glorifying terrorism, and to have them removed. It would also ban public acts that humiliate victims or pay tribute to convicted terrorists.
  2. Government Delegates could ban gatherings or demonstrations supporting convicted terrorists when they might humiliate victims. City councils could not facilitate banned gatherings, and responsible authorities would be personally liable.
  3. A new provision would declare that ETA's terrorist activity was a widespread and systematic attack against part of the civilian population for political reasons.
  4. The State would launch, within three months, an investigation into unresolved ETA attacks, without first assessing whether the crimes have expired, and would create a panel of jurists to report on each unresolved victim's file.
  5. Anyone with information on pending cases would be asked to cooperate confidentially and anonymously. International police and judicial cooperation would be reinforced, and prison authorities would weigh convicted terrorists' cooperation when granting benefits.
  6. Families of people murdered by ETA whose crimes remain unpunished would be personally informed, as soon as possible, of any change in the legal status of their case.

Who it affects

  • Victims of terrorism and their families: They would receive protection from tributes and humiliation, and personal updates on their cases.
  • Convicted terrorists: Their cooperation in solving pending attacks would influence prison benefits.
  • City councils and public authorities: They would have to remove objects glorifying terrorism and not facilitate banned gatherings.
  • Government Delegates: They would oversee compliance and could ban acts supporting terrorists.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
