EH Bildu approves a proposal for the new Political Table that combines “experience and youth”.

EH Bildu has approved, in view of its IIIrd Congress to be held in Pamplona on 7 and 8 February, a proposal for the formation of the new political table of the coalition. It’s a list of 31 people which “combines experience and youth” with an average age of 46 years and a female presence that could reach 56%.

These are data provided by the general coordinator of EH Bildu, Arnaldo Otegiduring the press conference he offered in Donostia-San Sebastián, after the regular meeting they held today. As detailed, the names will be known next Sunday, the date from which the deadline for the presentation of alternative proposals for the future direction opens. While the list approved today currently includes 31 names, the coalition leader did not rule out “another inclusion later, depending on whether or not we understand that there are certain areas that are important to put on the table.”

Otegi thus specified that the new Political Table must “follow the political table”. start established in the Political Presentation” which is already in the hands of the militants for debate and approval. “They will have to direct the political and popular activity of this country in two directions: on the one hand, they will have to work to change the relationship model with the state we need a new political status for this country, and on the other hand they will have to defend and promote anti-neoliberal government policyTo do this, he added, “it will be necessary to initiate a third major transformation in this country.”

Similarly, during this morning’s meeting, the management of EH Bildu assessed the demonstration in favor of prisoners’ rights that took place last Saturday in Bilbao and highlighted “the massive and transversal support” that the organization received. The coalition advocates building a ‘horizon without prisoners, refugees and deportees’, based ‘always on the application of current legislation’. “It would be an investment for the coexistence of this country. It would consolidate a coexistence based not on impunity, but on justice,” the general coordinator clarified.

At the start of the hearing, Otegi took advantage of his intervention to congratulate EH Bai on his victory in Ahetze. After emphasizing that “the militant work in that small town of Lapurdi has paid off,” he opined that “the pro-independence left is expanding little by little throughout the Basque Country.”
