“It is the Catalans and the Basques who create, and the Spaniards who take advantage of it again”
Bildu calls on pro-independence forces to unite to promote the choice in favour of Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galicia.
ERC representative in Congress Gabriel Rufián said this Wednesday in the House plenary that the Spanish men’s football team is made up of “Catalans and Basques who create and finish”, while The Spaniards “took advantage of this.”
He expressed this during his speech to the plenary session of Congress so that the head of the executive branch, Pedro Sánchez, could account for the decisions taken by the European Councils on 17 and 27 June and present the main lines of his plan for democratic regeneration.
Rufian censored this Both Sanchez and the “far right” wanted to “own” the victory in Europoca. teams led by Luis de la Fuente. “We can sum it up very easily: it is the Catalans and the Basques who create, finish and The Spaniards took advantage of this once again.”said.
During his first speech, Sanchez assured that Spain is experiencing “one of the best moments in its history” after the recent victory of the Spanish football team in the European Cup and the triumph of tennis player Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon, among others.
“Spanish uniformity” unites everyone
Bildu spokesperson Merche Aizpurua also took the opportunity to speak to refer to this victory, which is being celebrated, in her words, by “non-nationalists”, “the most extreme right, upset by the color of their team’s skin” and “the progressive left with an integrating history”, who “fell” a few hours later to “chants of superiority”. “When it comes to Spanish uniformity, everyone agrees and justifies it,” he stressed.
However, he noted that the “problem” in this matter is not the celebration of victory, but thatthat the Basque Country, Catalonia and Galicia are “denied” the opportunity to have their own teams and that the state is legally obliged to participate in the Spanish national team “under threat of a fine.”
“The time has come for all the Basque, Catalan and Galician forces represented here, supported by those who truly understand and defend the multinationality of the state beyond mere words, to use our power to make elections a reality, as they have been in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and England,” he concluded.
