The controversy has taken place on the social network Taberhe told Basque public television ETB at the end of the regatta.

The rower, as he did last year, dedicated the victory in this test – the most important in the Cantabrian Sea – to the ETA prisoners and “especially to Iurgi” with the wish that next year “they will be home.” , in reference to the ETA murderer Iurgi Garitagoitiawho was sentenced to 44 years in prison for collaborating in the murder of businessman Ignacio Uría in December 2008.
Sortu, an independence party legalized in 2012 by the Constitutional Court, has also written a post on X ensuring that Tabero belongs to the people, and has sent a message to bring home all the Basque prisoners.
Rower Iñaki Goikoetxea “Tabero”, present the call to bring home all the Basque prisoners, after winning the Kontxa flag.
They belong to the people.
