On the other hand, in her speech in the debate on the state of the nation, Mertxe Aizpurua lamented the pain of the victims but asked not to use it politically.
Euskaraz irakurri: Ezkerreko neurrietan askoz haratago joateko eskatu gave EH Bilduk Pedro Sanchezi
The spokeswoman for EH Picture in Congress, Mertxe Aizpurua urged the President of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez, to go far beyond the “patches” of the left turn he announced, by adopting measures such as the nationalization of electricity companies or the applying permanent taxes to its great advantages.
“We welcome the measures you have announced, but we expect more, starting with an ambitious, progressive and fair tax reform,” Basque deputies said in her speech at the debate on the state of the nation, warning that ” far-reaching decisions will be necessary” given the magnitude of the crisis caused by the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and inflation.
All this after accusing the president of making the “wrong decisions” he believes the government has made in matters such as espionage against the independents, the events at the Melilla fence, the “abandonment of the Saharawi people” or the “exaltation of warmongering” demonstrated in his opinion at the NATO summit in Madrid.
He has argued that everyone “goes against the majority sentiment of those you trusted” and will not mobilize the “progressive and left-wing social majority” that made him president.
Aizpurua has admitted that Sánchez’s social measures “tried to squeeze a left turn” but immediately blamed him for falling short.
In his response, Sánchez lamented that all the measures taken by the Spanish government leave him “a halfway mark” and asked Aizpurua to acknowledge that they are doing “many things” to try to fight the crisis.
On the other hand, the spokeswoman for EH Bildu emphasized her party’s commitment to “recognition and reparation for all victims” of terrorism and deplored “their pain”, but also asked that the memory of the victims of ETA not be a “political weapon against the adversary,” as he believes happened during the debate on the state of the nation.
“Unfortunately, the past has no cure, we know that nothing we say can undo the damage caused, but we are convinced that it is at least possible to alleviate it with the respect, attention and memory of all victims he assured.
In his speech during the debate on the state of the nation, Aizpurua said he was aware that his party’s recognition that this suffering “should never have happened” will not be “enough” for some either, but at the same time stressed that advanced “very much” for “a shared future” in the Basque Country.
“That the victims of different signs make a huge effort to show us that yes, it is possible to listen to each other, to empathize and, out of respect, move forward,” he said.
