A large part of those who constituted Basta Ya in the year 2000, a civic platform that was born in the Basque Country to fight against nationalism, have come back together and summoned references and representatives of civil society throughout Spain to raise their voices this time against the cessions of the Government before the separatist parties.

Rosa Díez, Fernando Savater, Carlos Urquijo or Jesús Cuadrado have appeared this Wednesday before the media to announce that next March they will convene a mobilization that they hope will be massive in favor of citizenship and the Constitution. And against the fact that members of the Government "consider the Magna Carta a hindrance" or "the mutilation of their legal defenses."

It has been Rosa Díez who has remembered first the parallelism between Unión 78 - the name of the platform presented this Wednesday - and Enough Now because "the Spaniards need a national Enough Now". Of course, the founder of UPyD has explained that the platform "has no electoral claim either in the short, medium, or long term."

Savater has stated that Union 78 cannot allow "the Government to decide the structure of the country" based on its agreements with the independentists because "we cannot move from a civic nation to an ethnic nation." "You cannot suddenly empty the whole country to make it a set of territories," he said.

Among the summoners is Jesús Cuadrado, a former national deputy of the PSOE and a former member of the Federal Committee, who has appealed to all socialists who renounce cessions to separatism to raise their voices and denounce it. "Not a single Spanish socialist can feel identified with this table," he proclaimed.

The former president of the Basque PP, María San Gil, for her part, added that there is "a large part" of Spanish society that is "greatly alarmed and concerned" with what the Government is doing. Therefore, he summarized that "it is time for civil society to recover the role it must have."

The members of Unión 78 have not yet specified where and when the citizen mobilization they want to convene will take place. But they have assured that their intention is to be in Madrid next March.
