• The grant of semi-freedom to Garikoitz Aspiazu Txeroki, former ETA leader, symbolizes the progressive denaturalization of the execution of terrorist penalties.
• ETA prisoners are systematically using the 100.2 regime, which allows them to avoid legal requirements of repentance and clarifications of unsolved crimes.
• This concession, decided by the Basque Justice Department, intensifies the feeling of impunity and worsens the perception of helplessness among the victims.
• Almost a hundred ETA members are currently in semi-freedom since the Basque Country took control of the prisons.

Conclusion: This situation endangers the credibility of the rule of law and victims must appeal to the courts. ETA's definitive defeat will only be complete if its political and moral rehabilitation is not achieved in practice.
