- The right to decide initiative announced on Saturday at the Kafe Antzokia in Bilbao the challenges of the next two years. “We want a free people, we want to create movement, we want to start the people and we want to encourage collaboration,” they said.
See Esku presents the dynamic "A Free People", noting that the objective is to put the question of sovereignty at the centre of the political agenda. “We will move the people of illusion,” spokesman Josu Etxaburu said. He explained the need for synergies: "We believe this moment is appropriate, as there are movements in our environment".
The hearing says that there is a need to move forward because "there are great challenges as a people" and that new resources are needed to provide adequate responses. On the other hand, they note that "reflections and debates on the future of the structuring of the Basque Autonomous Community, the Foral Community of Navarra and the College of the Northern Basque Country are in the process of opening or expanding". And also the implementation of new forms of cooperation between the political actors.
Irantzu Perello, a member of Šesku, explained that being a free people is not a dream, nor a request: “Being a free people is a will that is built and carried out every day. Step by step, deciding on an objective that is achieved.”
