Partners in Parliament and rivals in the street . Because as much as the acting Interior Minister, Fernando Grande-Marlaska , who will be in charge of the Operations Coordination Center to ensure the security of the G-7 summit, maintain that the independence and far-left organizations can exercise " their right to demonstrate to defend other ways of understanding social development ", the truth is that the objective of the groups that will be part of the so-called counter-summit will be to prevent it from developing normally. Precisely for that reason, Marlaska has announced that the Basque Government will mobilize 4,000 Ertzainas , who will be supported by almost 3,000 members of the Civil Guard and the National Police. In this way, when on Sunday Pedro Sánchez goes, as a guest of French President Emmanuel Macron , to one of the sessions that will take place in Hendaye, on the street, these troops will defend him from those who with his votes made him win the motion of censorship and those who still depend on whether they want to form a government.

Because at the head of the counter-summit , which has established one of its bases of operations in Irún, they will be members of EH Bildu, ERC and United We can , twinned in a "peaceful and festive and familiar way", as they have advanced, with the vests French yellows and the anarchists of the black bloc . Several of these groups have already warned that the blockade actions, which will last until Sunday 25, involve demonstrations, rallies, highway and highway cuts and the boycott of the railways and the airport. In addition, in several locations, assemblies and talks will be organized, as will happen in Irun today, where two of the main protagonists are the former Etarra Arnaldo Otegi and the coup and escape of Justice Marta Rovira , who will participate by videoconference in a session on the "exchanges between nations without a state".

Sanchez will find it difficult to explain to his counterparts in the US, Canada, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Italy and Japan that some of those who will try to prevent one of the most relevant summits of the international agenda have been for a year their partners Government, which they are now in Navarra, where they are carrying out the roadmap that ETA has set , and that they will need their votes again (in exchange for concessions) if they defend their investiture again. If you really want to become a benchmark of European social democracy, Sanchez must return to the constitutional path and forget populists, independence and phylloetarians.
