The crime of glorifying terrorism has returned to the National Court. Twelve years after the end of ETA, the organization around which this crime revolved, a complaint by Vox against two Palestinian activists has led to their charges for the content of their respective interventions in an appearance organized by Podemos in the Congress of Deputies. The resolution that issued her indictment highlights that one of the appearing parties called the Hamas attacks against Israel on October 7 and 8, 2023, which resulted in 1,261 deaths and the kidnapping of another 251 people, as a “brave initiative.”
“The events that took place on the aforementioned dates have been unequivocally classified as acts of terrorism, both by the authorities of the European Union and by the national authorities,” argued Judge Joaquín Gadea before leaving the Central Court of Instruction number 6. The defenses respond that it is the United Nations itself that recognizes the armed actions in Palestine and Israel as part of “an armed conflict in which there are several parties” involved.
