The objective firefighter Ina Robles leaves Elkarrekin-Podemos for disagreement with the sale of weapons
- The Spanish Government, formed by the PSOE and Podemos, has maintained the sale of arms to Saudi Arabia, so Ina Robles has decided to break relations with the purple formation. In May he resigned as Getxo Councilor for the eviction of Romo's Gaztetxe Itzubaltzeta.
The objective bomber, Ina Robles, has announced on Twitter that it has broken "any link" with the Elkarrekin-Podemos party because the Madrid Government has maintained the decision to sell arms to Saudi Arabia. Robles became known in 2017 when he refused to participate in the cargo of arms to Saudi Arabia on board the boats of the port of Bilbao. Since then, he has again reminded us of the country ' s bombing of Yemen.
Robles explained that while pp ruled the Port of Bilbao they sent Saudi Arabia "enough explosives to destroy every day a city the size of Gernika". Seeing this, Miguel Strogoff said he didn't want to take part in cargo duties. “This made us accomplices to the greatest humanitarian catastrophe of the century. My criticism and opposition was radical,” Robles explained.
However, the policy of the PSOE Government has not been the same, as it has continued to send arms to Saudi Arabia. Pedro Sánchez announced in 2018 a cessation of sales, after the government of the Arab country killed journalist Jamal Khaxoggi in a fight. On August 9, 2018, Saudi Arabia killed 40 children in Yemen with weapons sold by the Government of Spain, using MK82 guided bombs. A month later, Josep Borrell said he sent 400 MK82 bombs to Riyadh, which do not cause "collateral damage."
On 30 June, the Government updated the arms sales accounts. It reported that, in addition to continuing sales, the export of war material has increased by 30 channels. Robles has pointed out that the review of the promised arms sales has been a "smoke cloud".
In mid-May, Robles made another decision about his position as a councillor at Getxo. He felt “disappointed” with institutional policy, especially with the attempt by the municipal government of PNV and PSE to “criminalize the opposition”. Robles was dissatisfied with the eviction of the Ertzaintza and the Municipal Police against the gaztetxe Itzubaltzeta, in the district of Romo.
In the thread that started with the tweet, Robles explained the decision to leave the party.
In 2017, I went down to hell to say NO to arms sales to Saudi Arabia.
I lost 10 pounds that didn't spare me, sleepless nights, anxiety attacks and a lot of money in lawyers.
Today I say NO, a NO that hurts me almost like that, and that communicate well 👇
