The day after the conflicts is not usually comfortable, we want to forget what happened as soon as we can, the wounds we find on the skin are ugly and we want to quickly cut off the blood flow. Since in activity it is not easy to stop, to accommodate reflection, the human being experiences a kind of amnesia when a dispute is interrupted in which its existence is questioned harshly. The last ten years without violence have taught us, yes, that this people must take steps in pedagogy, that the new generations must be taught that the end of this phase is important, but that it is even more important that the pillars of coexistence are not repeated, that they are heard and that the recognition and reparation they deserve to the victims are offered.

During these days, many events have been organised in memory of what happened in that month of October 2011. We want to understand it, share views and that, besides being rich, is healthy for this society in the process of reconstruction. The Abertzale left has been asked to make self-criticism, to reject what it was, to facilitate the road to justice and to firmly condemn violence. But I have the impression that the demand and the real desire of some have never been matched, because the contempt of the representatives of a political space, the failure to accept democratic legitimacy, means expanding their own space. That is the key to the message sent yesterday by the leaders of the Abertzale left in Aiete. What it is doing, albeit slow and measured, is the conditions that society and the rest of the political spectrum have left Abertzale for the game to work. They still have a long way to go, but yesterday they destroyed their past, recognizing that what they defended never had to happen. There's something.

I welcomed these statements with joy, because an appeal has been made to the Abertzale left to walk the way of the word on several occasions. In this respect, it is defending democratically, in the institutions, an important part of society that has much to say in this society without violence. All this can have, and has, an electoral reading; there is nothing else to do with the reaction of the political parties of yesterday to these statements. The nationalist party, which has been hegemonic, took the declaration with caution and mistrust, bitter by the smell of a left-wing alliance that may have the ability to break its power. The Socialist Party is pleased with the evolution of the Abertzale left, supported in recent months by the Government of Madrid, and with the desire for Podemos to become involved in that tripartite future. The right-wing parties did not offer anything new to the journalists who approached to inform them of the press conference. It never seems to be the time to change the page for those who agitated the tree of fear and filled the sack of votes and who today, instead of encouraging coexistence, dreamed of the old.

You will see what the future means and how Basque policy conditions what the Basque Left has said about a decade ago. Certainly, the debate and the controversy. Any step on the road to peace and in the recognition and consideration of the mourning of the victims will be beneficial. Let us not devalue what we have lived, the essence of that cruelty that has not led us anywhere, because we and our descendants can learn a lot from the serious problems that this society has had to respect each other.

There's a way. If we add the will and the step, the horizon will light up.
