Interview with Josu Erkoreka, First Vice President and Acting Security Council Member, on Radio Euskadi

The First Vice President of the Basque Government and Acting Security Council Member, Josu Erkorekahas examined the 2023 crime recall in Euskadi, which reflects a decline in crime on the streets, while “crime happening online is skyrocketing to incredible levels.”

In his opinion, although the presence of ‘alarming’ headlines in some media suggests that danger lurks on the streets, ‘personal crime has decreased’, but it has not increased significantly ‘in general’. “What goes to incredible limits, however, is the crime that takes place on the Internet, not just on the Internet, but on the Internet,” he said.

In an interview for the program ‘Boulevard’ on Radio Euskadi, Erkoreka emphasized that the ‘increase in crime’ is fundamentally and fundamentally due to ‘the growth of cybercrime’.

On the other hand, when looking back on his political career, he recalled that when the PNV faction was spokesperson in Congress, “the staging was also very tough,” especially “during José María Aznar’s absolute majority.” “I was surprised by the strength of the insults and disqualifications” against the PNV representatives with whom Aznar had “an obsession” and “hammered” and “insulted” them, calling them “murderers.”

In any case, he emphasized that “There are many mud machines, not only in Madrid, but also here, and they do not come from the right and the far right.”. He has assured that “it has a different, perfectly identifiable origin”, without identifying who he accused.
