I WILL ANTICIPATE that the heart and the head right now ask me at the Parlament to vote for Artur Mas. As at the time of the Ibarretxe Plan, the Union asked me to make a serious gesture in favour of the plan. With regard to the build-up of forces, it is clear that he did not do so seriously, but with some votes in favour he did make it possible to draw up the plan in the Basque Parliament. No one could have said that he would have obstructed the road, but the support given to him was non-existent, because in that way he went against the wall of the Madrid Congress, first, and then towards the railroad of Basque society. And so it did.
Eventually everything looks much better, of course. Today, it is clear that the peace of mind with which the large and large sectors of the PNV took advantage of the collapse of the respiratory plan is clear. Analyzed since 2015, the path made by lehendakari Juan José Ibarretxe in solitude becomes incomprehensible. Loneliness is now seen, however, when at the top of leadership was reflected in the mirror of society the solid leader behind his party and much of Basque society, full of legitimacy and forcefulness.
As he knew his party, Juan José Ibarretxe preferred more than fighting within the PNV, forming a think tank of independence and influencing society. The former lehendakari will know that magic and research do not agree very much, but in the Basque Parliament’s speech it envisaged independence by 2030 for Catalonia and the Basque Country. It has to be admitted, however, that it has managed to dignify its escape from the revolving doors. The micro-point of its New Statute could be as follows: Ibarretxe was not possible, the PNV refused and the left Abertzale failed.
And CUP, how on earth are you going to see the move to close the door of the Masi Generalitat in 10 years' time? Nobody knows. Until the beginning of January it will not be entirely known, but in that Mas or in that Març a strong smell of elections is spreading in Catalonia. The Cup and JxYes have already recognised that the worst scenario would be a repeat election, but it is not credible, if it does not appear that the logical thing would be to reach an agreement. If Lehendakari and his government are unable to reach a consensus, how will he believe that the citizens will be able to agree on a roadmap to independence?
One of the important keys that may exist in this knot is the following: Even though the CDC is very touched, let's see how your spine has felt along the way so far. The biggest doubt in recent years has been how far Mas could go: it has certainly exceeded all expectations so far. And one of the keys is how that CDC world is most encouraged, pushing Mas forward or rejecting Mas.
If at CDC the issue was very clear, it would be replaced and it was over: the CUP would win the wager it is making to prevent the situation from getting worse litzateke.Egunotan in the next elections. But if, as is possible, at CDC not everything was that clear? So, ten years from now, you're going to talk about that peek of the past in the Cup.
The issue of prisoners remains the subject of debate on the Abertzale left, as demonstrated by the demonstration on 28 November in Bilbao. There is no doubt that if in 2011 the State had taken the minimum humanitarian measures with regard to prisoners, the debate would not be the same now. But this has not happened and the nerves are multiplying everywhere. The state knew that this could happen and is playing with that letter, using people and their rights without ethical complexes. Let us say clearly, using state violence. In this situation, the most striking thing would be for there to be no discussion. In this context, the words of Jesus Mari Zalakain, who was just released from prison in Berria, are not the worst as a compass: “The key is to follow, make meetings, demonstrations, petitions, whatever you can.” This debate is manageable.
The problem is going to be more serious if what is behind this debate is the political line of the Abertzale left, with the objectives and the means. With its ups and downs, but it has been considered a great value that the entire Abertzale left has at the same time completed the path of armed struggle. Is that the case?
Walk from a train station, two friends and a hug. This hug will be frozen until the next meeting. I'll come home, he'll stay there. There, too, will be free the painful feeling that injustice wants us to catch. Jesús Rodríguez (Santa Coloma de Gramenet, 1974) is a journalist,... [+]
