Demonstration against ETA in Vitoria…

According to this article in El País, there was a political demonstration held to protest ETA today in Vitoria, a city in the Basque Region of Spain.  This demonstration was organized by members of various political parties in Spain and was a reaction to the recent death of a Guardia Civil officer after an ETA bombing in Legutiano (another city in the Basque Region).  Because prominent members of several opposing Spanish political parties were present, the article points out that today’s demonstration was a symbol of the ability of all Spaniards – regardless of their party affiliation – to unite and fight against terrorism.
