Spanish government criminalizes social movement using "ETA"

Members of Stop Desahucios avoid an eviction in Spain
According to naiz,  the government delegate in Madrid, Cristina Cifuentes, has said recently during an interview that "the people that are in the association against evictions have showed their support to Bildu (coalition of pro-independence and leftist political parties), Sortu (abertzale left) and the groups that are linked with ETA".

According to her, they are using "evictions" to make "an strategy of radical policy". Some hours after, she has said that she would like that the association against evictions explain "the fact that they supported a demonstration in favour of ETA prisoners".

After that declarations, the spokeswoman of the association against evictions has said that the association is not linked with political parties and that it is independent. Besides, she has denounced that recently she had received death threats.
