Otegi Files Complaint in Vitoria Over Threatening Email

A judicial probe now focuses on identifying the sender of the threatening email.

Overview

  • Arnaldo Otegi, who leads the Basque party EH Bildu, went to the Vitoria courthouse on Monday to file a complaint as a victim.
  • The message targeted an EH Bildu party email account and was sent weeks earlier, according to local reports.
  • The sender’s identity is unknown, and the Basque judiciary is investigating who sent it.
  • El Correo reported the email contained explicit death threats against Otegi, a detail still pending wider confirmation.
  • EH Bildu said it also reported the threats to the regional police, the Ertzaintza, after the note reached its Basque Parliament group in December 2025.
