Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Thursday presided over a ceremony to destroy more than 1,000 guns and other weapons seized over the years from Basque separatist group ETA, which disbanded in 2018.
A steamroller slowly drove over three rows of weapons laid out in the courtyard of a Guardia Civil police barracks south of Madrid, watched by representatives of terrorism victim associations and law enforcement agencies which fought against the group. We have just witnessed an act of great symbolism in that long fight against terrorism that was so painful for our country, the Socialist premier said.
