Spain marked the 27th anniversary of Miguel Ángel Blanco's assassination by ETA with nationwide tributes.

In Ermua, where Blanco served as a councilor, officials and victims' families held a flower-laying ceremony.

The event emphasized the importance of preserving memory for future generations.

Political tensions surfaced as the Popular Party (PP) leader, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, promised support for ETA victims while criticizing those who 'pact with the heirs of terror.

' Mari Mar Blanco, Miguel Ángel's sister, called for political unity but also accused the current government of making concessions to ETA's political successors.

Despite progress in defeating ETA, concerns remain about the ongoing legitimization of terrorism in some regions.
