Controversy continues over the incidents that took place in the Copa del Rey semi-finals in San Sebastián and Bilbao, as well as over the demonstration commemorating the victims of March 3 in Vitoria-Gasteiz. The candidate for lehendakari of the PNV, Imanol Pradaleshas wondered “why the emphasis is always placed” on the actions of the Ertzaintza and not “on those who provoke the altercations.
In a interview awarded to Euskadi Irratia, Pradales did not evaluate Josu Erkoreka’s statements, “because I have neither data nor sources.” Yesterday, the Security Council member suggested that EH Bildu is behind the latest incidents at mass events.
On the other hand, Pradales wanted to make a different reflection. In his opinion, he often hears talk about the policing model, but not about ‘the social unrest’, and he has urged ‘that should be the first focus’. “And then we will talk about the activity of the Ertzaintza,” he added.
“I would like to ask the Basque society if it wants these people in society. For example, I condemn all those quarrels and incidents and I don’t want something like that. There are enough people like that in our society,” he assured.
Finally he said that “Normally the Ertzaintza acts proportionatelyalthough he has acknowledged that “there may be some disproportionality at times, but in any case.”
