The general coordinator of EH Bildu, Arnaldo Otegicalled “intensify the work” obtain a new status which recognizes the Basque Country as a nation in the face of the possibility that the Government of Pedro Sanchez can fall in love with “the deep state’s operation to bring him down“.
In an interview with Radio Euskadi, Otegi assured that his formation is “very combative” against corruption, but he said that he did not have data to determine “if this is the case in certain cases” which would be attributed to the PSOE and the Executive.
However, he believes that in the Ábalos plot “there is evidence” and that, therefore, the socialists are able difficult situation”. “We must also not lose sight of the fact that there is a deep state operation which aims to reverse this Governmentbut not because they don’t like it Sanchez and not because it is a Bolshevik government which is going to nationalize the banks and large companies,” he clarified.
According to him, “they don’t like it because they believe that it is a government which endangers the privileges of the 1978 regime and that he can solve the state’s national problems in another way. “That’s why they want to eliminate it,” he noted.
The leader of EH Bildu declared that “all possible avenues of access will be used to achieve this objective” of bringing down Pedro Sanchez and, therefore, the Basques have “an opportunity measured in time” to agree on a new status. “The longer (the government) lasts, the better it is for us. Whether the corruption cases could shorten it, I don’t know,” he said.
Self-government
“If we are clearly committed to maintaining the government in the Spanish State, it is not because we like Pedro Sánchez more or less or because we like the PSOE more or less, but because we think it is a better option than the one that may come and, secondly, because it can open up the possibility of debating the national status of Navarre and the three territories,” he said.
According to him, “the country cannot afford the luxury” of not reaching an agreement “in terms of national status, not only with the PNV, but with the rest of the interested political forces.” by recognizing that Euskal Herría It is a nation with national rights. »
As he said, “big deals are made in the spotlight.” “When you appear before a commission, everyone is very interested in making statements that satisfy their parish, as in the case of Eneko Andueza (leader of the Basque socialists), who every time he speaks, the bread get up,” he said. .
Independence
Arnaldo Otegi indicated that EH Bildu does not believe that it is possible “to go directly to independence in a unilateral act and in a single act, unless certain conditions arise” that they do not currently see “on the horizon.” It is for this reason that he said that they like the confederal model in this sense . gradual process. “Let’s start by recognizing that Euskal Herria is a nation made up of seven territories and, from there, let’s start walking to build a great agreement,” he stressed.
In this sense, he declared that independence would endure “when people decide they want it”. After emphasizing that there is a possibility that the PP and Vox govern “the Spanish State”, he called for “looking for an intermediate solution, which gives this country enough political power to defend itself from reactionary waves”.
“If the majority of this country wants to vote and agree to become a republic, we guarantee that the country will vote whether or not it is included in its laws, but we are not there yet,” he said.
