Euskaraz irakurri: Gasteizko epaitegi batek bertan behera utzi ditu EARen XIII. Kongresua eta bertan egindako izen monkeys guztiak

The court of First Instance number 6 of Vitoria-Gasteiz has agreed to the delay from all agreements adopted in the National Congress of Eusko Alkartasuna held on February 19 and 20, 2022as reported EA .’s critical sector this Tuesday by letter.

The Congress, the source states, was conducted “by telematic vote” and “without the existence of any regulation or organization guaranteeing its legitimacy”; the judge, the note continues, “sees irregularities, as had been warned by several members of the formation.” It also ordered the directorate of Eba Blanco, EA’s re-elected secretary general to Congress, to pay the costs.

According to the note, a group of elected delegates from the Eusko Alkartasuna Congress, “who were prevented from attending”, challenged it and filed a lawsuit “for serious irregularities committed by the management of Eba Blanco, requesting that precautions be taken. for the suspension of the agreements adopted therein, approved by the Court of First Instance No. 6 of Vitoria-Gasteiz, for the demonstration of the said irregularities”.

Consequences “of enormous depth”

The immediate ramifications of the order are, in the words of the critical sector, “of enormous importance within EA, since the new statutes were approved in February and all appointments made in that congress have been suspendedso that the previous appointments of the people who made up the National Board, the National Council, the Guarantee Commission and the National Assembly remain in force.

In the note released Tuesday, the source recalled “that the Court has already forced Eusko Alkartasuna to repeat the 2019 primaries, in which Maiorga Ramirez was unfairly parked, violating her fundamental right to participate, and the self-declared Blanco Secretary-General denied this. time, the annulment is extended to his entire team, many of them have been released on a professional basis, such as Iker Ruiz de Eguino, head of the legal department and spokesperson, or Asier Gomez Barrenetxea, Minister of Communications, “they continue. The order, the note reads, “shows in particular the work of Leire Pinedo, who presided over the Congress, which was annulled for his irregularities.” Likewise, they emphasize that all appointments of the territorial and local officials, “in which Eba Blanco had cleared the sector related to Carlos Garaikoetxea, remain without effect and return to the hands of those directly elected by the affiliation”, those of the aforementioned sector in the four capitals of Hegoalde (Bilbo, Iruñea, Donostia and Gasteiz), as well as those responsible for Araba, Nafarroa and Gipuzkoa.

Sector Eba Blanco, the press release explains, “has argued in courts so far that EA could no longer elect its Secretary General through the primary procedure, as it had passed in the now annulled Congress to eliminate the procedure.” for election to the General Secretariat by primaries”. This argument is now, they specify, without effect, “since the statutes in force now consider the primaries to be a form of election of the party leader, an issue repeatedly asked by more than 400 associate members who endorsed Maiorga Ramirez after the resignation of Pello Urizar in June 2019, and who have demanded that a direct vote (one member, one vote) elect the party leader, and that a transparent congress be held to decide the future of the party and EA’s fit in EH Bildu as requested by more than 600 affiliates in light of Blanco’s refusal”.

In this sense, they point out that the car is “a” direct impact on the conformation of the organs of EH Bildu and in its electoral lists; in fact, Eba Blanco has eliminated from them all the people in the sector associated with Garaikoetxea, an issue that was taken up by Sortu and EH Bildu and must now be corrected as Blanco’s appointments have been annulled as his was cancelled “.

Finally, the sector related to Garaikoetxea “makes a new appeal to common sense, no longer prolong the Kafkaesque situation to which the White Directorate led to the formation, by endless means. The only valid solution is to give a transparent voice to the affiliation and end the ideological purge within the party once and for all. The various existing positions regarding the relationship with EH Bildu must be resolved by the affiliation, without prosecution and accept what the majority decides”.
