“It is the Catalans and the Basques who create, and the Spaniards who take advantage of it again”

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.
