United Nations spokesman Podemos, Pablo Echenique, said at the Congress of Deputies on the morning of June 18 that there is no need to set up a GAL committee of inquiry, because "everyone knows what happened." The party's delegation to the CAV, however, regretted the fact that they had taken place. Ezker Anitza-IU and Podemos Euskadi have published a joint statement criticizing Echenique's words and reiterating the need to "defend the truth, justice and reparation of the victims of the GAL". In addition, they have asked the Justice to "clarify the responsibility of the former president of the Spanish Government Felipe González in the GAL".

Meanwhile, EH Bildu, ERC, JuntsXCat, PNV, Cup and BNG have tabled a proposal to set up a committee of inquiry to clarify the links and responsibilities between the governments chaired by González and the LAGs, in 1984 the framework of the disclassified information from the CIA about the leader of the PSOE.

These contradictory statements have taken place four weeks after the elections to the Basque Parliament, held this Sunday. The surveys published so far do not provide a good result for Podemos.

Pili Zabala's contempt for the decision

Anyone who was a candidate for lehendakari by Podemos in the last legislature, in an interview granted to Euskadi Irratia, said on Thursday that he called Pablo Iglesias and told him that he has no choice but to move away from Podemos, that he will not support the request to open a commission in Congress to investigate Felipe González.

Pili Zabala, sister of Joxi Zabala, kidnapped and killed by the GAL in 1983, asks Iglesias from that position: Where are our rights? ". In Zabala's opinion, Iglesias has already replied that it is not time to launch such an initiative because "it will not go ahead".
