About

Soledad Iparraguirre, also known as 'Anboto', is a former leader of the ETA, a now-defunct Basque separatist organization considered a terrorist group. She is currently serving a prison sentence for her involvement with ETA. Iparraguirre is newsworthy due to the recent decision by the Basque Government to grant her a semi-liberty regime, allowing her to leave prison from Monday to Friday, with the obligation to return to sleep there. This decision was made under Article 100.2 of the Penitentiary Regulations. The granting of semi-liberty has sparked controversy, with victims' associations like Dignidad y Justicia denouncing it as a result of a political agreement between the PSOE (Socialist party) and Bildu, a Basque political party. They claim this agreement allows Pedro Sánchez to remain in power. This development highlights ongoing tensions and debates surrounding the treatment of former ETA members and the reconciliation process in Spain.
