EHAK registered for elections in 2002 at both the Basque Country and the Spanish level {Link without Title} . The party had been legally registered in 2002 but had no known activity until 2005. Like those parties, representatives of EHAK-PCTV have refused to explicitly condemn the ETA attacks. The People's Party requested that the Spanish government conducts investigations to ban EHAK-PCTV too, though the State Legal Service (''Abogacía General del Estado'') and the Attorney General's Office (''Fiscalía General del Estado'') found no evidence to support legal actions against the party. Batasuna asked their supporters to vote for EHAK-PCTV. In the Basque elections of April 17 , 2005, EHAK-PCTV obtained 150.188 votes (12,5%), entering the Basque Parliament with nine seats. |
