Deep discomfort among the victims of ETA when they see how the President of the Government has posed smiling with the Bildu spokespersons in Congress, Mertxe Aizpurua, and in the Senate, Gorka Elejabarrieta. He does so within the round of contacts that concluded this Friday to seek support for his investiture.
However, for victims of terrorism it is a painful photo. For the Victims of Terrorism Association (AVT), this image represents, as they have stated on the social network
“It depicts the Rule of Law kneeling before ETA, which is what terrorists have always wanted,” they point out to also emphasize that “fortunately ETA no longer kills with guns, but it kills consciences.”
“It depicts the rule of law kneeling before ETA”
The AVT remembers that Pedro Sánchez had never wanted to meet with Bildu before. In fact, in the newspaper archive there are the serious faces of Adriana Lastra and Rafael Simancas in 2019, when it was their turn to hold this meeting. But now, the victims of terrorism see today’s photo as “the graphic expression of a fact that has been a reality since Sánchez decided to treat Bildu as a valid political agent.”
From Covite, the association chaired by Consuelo Ordóñez, they have also criticized that this meeting between the President of the Government and the Bildu deputies, They believe that it is “falling into the trap of the normalization that the nationalist left seeks.”
After that meeting, Bildu has assured that they will support his investiture to “stop the reactionary right”, but has asked for “ambition” to continue advancing in social and labor policies as well as opening “a debate around the plurinationality of the State” and the “national rights” of the Basque people.
Pedro Sánchez meeting with Junts
The President of the Government also met this Friday with representatives of Junts, Carles Puigdemont’s party, who could hold the key to his investiture. The topic on which all the questions revolve is the possible amnesty for those convicted of the ‘procés’ in Catalonia, but both parties have been cautious and have not revealed details about this matter.
In fact, Junts’ spokesperson in Congress, Míriam Nogueras, has warned that her party is still “far away” from supporting his investiture and that they will not give him their votes if his intentions for Catalonia are limited to doing and saying “the same thing.” than in the last four years.
“We are not here to listen, nor to do what has been done in the last four years, because we all know and it has been confirmed that it has not worked,” said the spokesperson for the independentistas.
