The mayor of Murcia, José Ballesta, said that "today we remember Miguel Angel Blanco and the thousands of Spaniards who suffered persecution, extortion, blackmail, kidnapping and suffered at the hands of ETA, to defend freedom and democracy.
All of them represent a moral example for Spain and the Spaniards. "
"Today is also a day to claim the dignity of the Spanish people and remember their response when, all united - regardless of colors and ideologies - we stand up against barbarism and assassins, to fight face to face, against terrorists "Added the mayor.
"Between good and evil, there are no equidistances.
Between the terrorists and the murdered, between the executioners and the victims can not establish equidistances, "reiterated José Ballesta after keeping the minute of silence in front of the City Hall.
