- First of all, our warmest greetings to all those who cannot return to Euskal Herria to continue fighting for independence and socialism (prisoners, deportees or exiles). From there, we are mainly addressing those who have not given up on the historic objectives of the Basque National Liberation Movement and the new generations that are beginning to fight.
We know that the repressive Basques and the people living outside Euskal Herria, although few, suffer a different kind of political oppression, most with a lack of dignified living conditions. We are also aware that the struggle involves physical, mental and psychological distress, we are talking about a case of almost 34 years in prison and the same, or more, a case of escape.
It is well known that, in this situation, the repressive forces hold different political positions. In our view, there are those who will not sail in the waters of surrender, repentance, etc.
There are also those who share the views of the Official and Reformist Left Abertzale, although they are aware that Spain, as has been said several and a thousand times, has not exceeded the incandescent lines (repentance or delation) raised by the EPPK, which are part of the conditions imposed by the State for the release of Basque political prisoners before serving the sentences.
It is also known that some Basque political prisoners are outside the EPPK, because they do not share the prison line or the reformist political line.
It calls for the immediate release of the elderly or the sick, regardless of their political position.
Once we see the surrender of ETA and the accession and submission to Sortu with the occupying states, the reality is that the prisoners, fleeing and deportees, in relation to that “war”, do not want to know anything. Well, there it is. Each on its own
We are living in decisive moments and we have to speak clearly. Once we see the surrender of ETA and the accession and submission to Sortu with the occupying states, the reality is that the prisoners, fleeing and deportees, in relation to that “war”, do not want to know anything. Well, there it is. Everyone on their own.
On the other hand, there are sufficient reasons to fight and these people will accompany us in the dynamics that are implemented in favor of the national and social emancipation of the Basque Country. Do not hesitate.
For all these reasons and for the rest, we ask you to attend the demonstration called by the Pro Amnesty and Anti-Repression Movement in the Plaza Sagrada Corazón de Bilbao, at 18:00 in the afternoon, under the motto Gudarien Gudariak Amnistia Osoa.
They're gudaris, not terrorists. For the total amnesty, that is, for the Independence and Socialism of the Basque Country.
