EH Bildu’s candidate for Lehendakari, Pello Otxandiano, has refused to classify ETA as a terrorist group, pointing out that it was an “armed group” that may have “various considerations.” In an interview on Cadena Ser, he pointed out that “fortunately” ETA no longer exists and has demanded to face the future and the memory of Euskadi in “a more shared way.” “You can discuss the considerations of what is terrorism and what it is not. The main question is to diagnose how political conflicts are overcome and we have made a lot of progress. Basque society is in another phase and this debate is over,” the candidate stressed. by EH Bildu.
That has generated a lot of criticism. The president of Murcia, the ‘popular’ Fernando López Miras, assured this Wednesday that he does not care about the opinion of Bildu’s candidate for the Basque elections, Pello Otxandiano, after he refused to classify ETA as a terrorist group, labeling this formation as “heirs of those who shot in the back of the head” and reproaching the head of the Executive, Pedro Sánchez, for his pacts with them.
This is how the Murcian president spoke in statements to journalists before participating in the ‘Wake Up’ Forum about Otxandiano’s words in which he refused to classify ETA as a terrorist band, pointing out that it was an “armed group.” “What Bildu thinks has no significance for me. They are what they are, heirs of what they are, of those who shot people in the back of the head in the Basque Country and the rest of Spain. Therefore, what they think I don’t care about them,” López Miras proclaimed in this regard.
In this context, he has warned that “what is surprising, worrying and alarming” is that Sánchez has arrived at La Moncloa thanks to Bildu’s votes in Congress. “The Sánchez Government depends precisely on those who say that ETA was not a terrorist group. That is what is worrying and what should lead us to deep reflection,” he added.
Likewise, the Murcian president has spoken about the post-electoral pacts after Sunday and, when asked if the PP would support the PNV to prevent Bildu from coming to power, he indicated that those of Imanol Pradales are “thrown into the mountains with the PSOE”. “If the PNV already has a preferred partner, which is the Socialist Party, for a decade in the Basque Country and now supporting a government like that of Pedro Sánchez, it must of course renounce many principles that the PNV has always defended. PNV to be in the hands of a government like Pedro Sánchez’s right now. Therefore, I think those options are rather scarce,” he stated.
The words of the Bildu leader have also made Alfonso Reyes, former Real Madrid and Estudiantes player, explode. “Those who consider ETA an “armed group” instead of a terrorist band have my absolute contempt. Being their heirs is what they have,” he wrote indignantly.
