  • Politics The Supreme Court orders a repeat of the trial against Arnaldo Otegi for belonging to a terrorist organization

The general coordinator of EH Bildu, Arnaldo Otegi, has considered that the Supreme Court's decision to repeat the trial of the Bateragune case, annulled by the European Court, is a "political decision, not a legal one", which is part of the commitment of the extreme right in destabilizing the Government of PSOE and United We Can and the current political scenario in which its formation is increasingly decisive, and "criminalizing the Basque independence left".

"It is an amendment to the entirety of the General State Budgets", he said, this time from the judiciary, in the same way that "the military" did before with the letters sent to the King.

"There is a military albatross, a media albatross and a headdress."

In addition, he has considered that it is a warning to sailors so that the Catalan independentistas "lose all hope" in their fight for independence because there is a Supreme Court capable of "being insubordinate" with the decisions of the European court.

In an appearance in which Otegi was accompanied by the other defendants in the Bateragune case, Rafael Díez Usabiaga, Arkaitz Rodríguez, Sonia Jacinto and Miren Zabaleta, and by members of the leadership of EH Bildu in the Basque Country and Navarra, he refused to enter to assess the legal aspects of the Supreme Court's decision, although it has hinted that they will use all resources to counteract it.

"They have moved token, but we will also move it, and we will see how the game ends," he warned.

Apart from the legal battle, he has preferred to focus on the political and from Bildu they have considered the decision an attack on democracy, against which all independentists must unite.
