This should not come as a surprise, but guess what, the Spaniards reacted negatively to Fermín Muguruza's defense of Egunkaria:
Fermin Muguruza's support for Egunkaria causes a scandal at Spanish Music Awards
Fermin Muguruza Basque rock singer was booed and hissed at last Thursday by most of the people present at the Spanish Music Awards, in Madrid.
At a gala where almost all the winners and presenters were eager to express their opposition to the war against Irak Muguruza dedicated his prize to "all the Egunkaria workers" and editor Martxelo Otamendi, who was present. Muguruza highlighted Egunkaria "as a victim of the global war", but Spanish musicians sympathy begins and ends in the Middle East.
During the press conference after the awards, Muguruza was accused by journalists of supporting violence in the Basque Country. Muguruza said he didn't agree with ETA's violence and added that his only armament is music.
Back in the Basque Country, the former singer of Kortatu and Negu Gorriak expressed his satisfaction to Egunero.Even if most of the people there booed me, we received solidarity from others and we fulfilled our objective: to bring Egunkaria's case to the forefront.
Muguruza, whose last album is on sale this weekend with Egunero was interviewed last Friday by Egunero, Egunkaria's substitute. All the money will go to the new project.
