- EH Bildu asked yesterday, February 4, at the Congress of Deputies for the publication of the Francoist police service sheet Billy El Niño. The request has not been approved, as PSOE, pp, Citizens, Vox and Podemos voted against it. The latter apologised for the ‘mistake’ he made and said that, if there is another vote, he will vote ‘yes’ to the coalition’s proposal.
The rejection of Podemos has caused a stir in Parliament, as the party has spoken on more than one occasion against the torturer franquista.Frente to the "no", parties such as EH Bildu, ERC or BNG have asked for explanations for the formation of Churches, after which the vice-president has asked for forgiveness via Twitter.
Today we have made a mistake on the spokesman’s board and there is no excuse that is worth it. The victims of the torturing Pacheco do not deserve to see us fail. Good intentions do not justify errors like this. Beraz, we can rectify. My apologies to the victims https://t.co/FsqmDbXdJ7

The party has asked for forgiveness "with shame", acknowledging that there has been a mistake and that when the vote "yes" is re-voted it will. He stressed that the only reason for refusing the petition was the doubt about the legality of the petition, and he clarified that he will continue to work not only to publish the franchisor's service sheet, but to take away the decorations he has.
