The EH Bildu spokesperson in Congress, Mertxe Aizpurua, has denounced the “attempt to criminalize” the initial march of Sare “for human rights” scheduled for this past Saturday from “a hoax”, and has accused Vox and to the PP of “distorting the leitmotif of the convocation with the acquiescence of the media, political parties and part of the institutional sector.”
In addition, it has stated that the Government of Spain will “too slow” in “compliance with current legislation” and when it comes to “trying to reverse the situation of exceptionality” of the ETA prisoners, “which today does not make any sense.”
In an interview with Radio Euskadi, collected by Europa Press, Aizpurua referred to the controversy created after the march called by Sare this past Saturday to denounce exceptional legislation that, such as Law 7/2013, that affects Henri Parot, and that it was eventually replaced by concentrations against “life imprisonment.”
For the deputy of the sovereignist coalition, it must be “clear” that to resolve “the consequences of the conflict” that occurred in the Basque Country “it is essential to comply with current legislation” and “end the laws of exception”.
In this sense, it has affirmed that Law 7/2013, better known as the Parot Doctrine, “was expressly approved to punish Basque prisoners” and is “what allows the application of jail sentences practically for life”.
He recalled that in this situation there are currently 15 ETA inmates “who will be sentenced to serving sentences of 40 years in prison, when the penitentiary legislation sets a maximum limit of 30 years in prison for everyone” . “What these exceptions do is violate a legality that should not happen,” he added.
Mertxe Aizpurua believes that Vox and the PP have “distorted the reason, the leitmotif of this call, with the acquiescence of the media, political parties and, unfortunately, also by a part of the institutional sector.” “It has been distorted and an attempt has been made to criminalize a mobilization in favor of human rights. There is no more, “he insisted.
As he added, “there has been an operation built from a hoax, lies, lies and more lies, and there have been those who have given support to that situation.”
For the representative of EH Bildu in the lower house, you cannot “be so irresponsible” from the political point of view if you intend to “really build coexistence.” “Living together is not falsifying reality, work for human rights and that those human rights are fulfilled with everyone “, he pointed out.
In addition, he considers that Sare changed the call for the event “with intelligence and a lot of common sense, as the situation was.” “Compliance with current legislation is nothing more than what is requested, they cannot be subjected to this beating. And they cannot dance the water either to the claims that Vox has, that all it wants to do is throw ammunition against the coexistence “, has criticized.
