Sortu celebrates this weekend the V National Conference in the Navarrese city of Lakuntza, where since yesterday hundreds of militants, local officials and participants of social movements and strategic spaces of the abertzale formation have met.
Sortu’s general secretary, Arkaitz Rodriguez Torreshas expressed its “unequivocal commitment” to EH Bildu and EH Bai and to open these organizations to other sectors to “broad sovereignist and progressive front to lead and lead this country into a future of sovereignty and social justice”.
Likewise, he has chosen these two organizations so that they “govern the greatest number of institutions” because “it is good for the people, for the country and for the process of national and social emancipation.” In this sense, he emphasized that “we are not born to be an eternal opposition, we were born to win, and we will winThis is what he said this Saturday at noon in his speech at the National Conference of Sortu, which has been taking place since yesterday, Friday, in the Navarrese city of Lakuntza.
Rodríguez has assured that “we are alive” a special historical situation“, within a context where he has described as “exception“, for which he has argued for a radical change in the model of production, distribution and consumption,” or the risk of economic and biological collapse will get bigger and bigger.” “We live in a time full of risks, but also in a full of opportunitieshe assured.
For this reason, Sortu’s Secretary General has confirmed that the new “Global, Generational, Strategic and Civilization” challenges require that “a new majority and a new leadership”. A “sovereignty and progressive majority, which already exists in the country but now, in view of the next electoral cycle, must be operationalized in electoral and institutional terms.”
On the other hand, he assured that a new leadership “can only come from the hands of the leftist sovereigntybecause those who have put us in this situation with their policies can hardly take us anywhere else”.
Rodríguez has called for “to make the country operational to meet all the global, generative, strategic and civilizational challenges that lie ahead” and to make progress in the “restoring social and economic rights”and the restoration of sovereignty”.
In this sense, he has argued for the articulation of “all the community energy of the people” to confront the reactionary rightists, to whom he has sent a message: “Go to hell, damn fasciststhat there is a worthy people here.”
Arkaitz Rodríguez has chosen to face “the” new social and economic crisis in the making” from the beginning that “this crisis cannot be paid for by the same old ones: women, young people, people of color, pensioners, workers.”The rich have to paythe big companies, the electricity oligopoly, the banks, that’s why they are largely responsible for it and for that we saved them with billions of euros 10 years ago.”
Likewise he called “intervening” in the energy market, “end the electricity oligopoly” and “guarantee public control, both of these and the rest of the strategic sectors”. He has called for the minimum interprofessional salary and pensions to be increased and adapted to the “socio-economic realities and the balance of power” existing in Euskal Herria.
Similarly, he has chosen to “end real estate scams and ensure that everyone has access to decent housing without having to put a mortgage on their lives forever”. It has also proposed building a “public health system because it is unacceptable to put reproductive work on the shoulders of women”, and has called for “an end to the commercialization of education and health care because it is not acceptable for anyone to do business with the fundamental rights of the people”.
Finally, he has a “deep tax reform that ends the privileges of the rich and makes those who have more pay more once and for all.”
Sortu celebrates in Lakuntzabetween Friday and this Saturday, its National Conference with the aim of “continuing to work on a” new national and community impulse“.
The member of the National Council of Sortu, Oihana Saint Vincenthas emphasized that it is “the most important event of the year”, for which he has set himself two goals: on the one hand, the National Assembly, to be held this Saturday, will balance of the past course and will project “the next few years that we want to do around a political plan”; on the other hand, it is intendedbring the community togethermeet each other, deepen the debates, enjoy and share different spaces”.
