Terrorism ETA prisoners announce the end of public tributes but will continue with "discreet" greetings
Anti-terrorist policy Ciudadanos challenges the PSOE to support a law to prosecute tributes to ETA with heavy fines
The communiqué of the ETA inmates' collective demanding the end of the
Etorri ongi
-the public tributes paid to ETA members when they leave prison- has been received with a profound disparity of criteria by the parliamentary forces, opening a new terrain of radical confrontation between the groups that support the
Government
and its allies and opposition forces.
While for the former it is "good news" that "is late, but it arrives" and should be interpreted as a "request for forgiveness and apologies to the victims", for the latter it barely acquires the category of "mockery" or "paperwork" without any credibility.
The PSOE, through the mouth of its spokesman in Congress,
Héctor Gómez
, regrets that formations such as Ciudadanos, which intended to promote a
Law on Memory and Protection of Victims
, try in this matter to "instrumentalize" those who suffered the terrorist blow. And it is that the announcement of the group of prisoners coincides with the debate of taking into consideration in Congress the proposal of law of the
orange
formation
,
which raises the prohibition precisely of the
ongi etorri
, an initiative that will not prosper because the two parties that support the Government -PSOE and United We Can plus its allies, will vote against it.
In this sense, the spokesman for Citizens in Congress, Edmundo Bal, has crossed out the communiqué of the group of prisoners of "paperwork" without credibility that is made public coinciding precisely with the debate of his proposal in order to provide the PSOE with the "justification timely "so as not to vote in favor of it. Bal has assured that it is, in short, a new "maneuver" by a Pedro Sánchez "who has no shame" and does not hesitate to "whitewash the Otegi boys."
In the opinion of the Citizens' spokesperson, all those groups that are in favor of eliminating the tributes to ETA members should, instead of settling for a simple statement of doubtful credibility, vote in favor of a legal text like the one proposed by their group.
In this sense, he has attacked the socialist deputy
Odón Elorza
who last week accused the
oranges
of using the victims to obtain political profit, of trying to exercise a "disgusting moral supremacy" and being a "hypocrite" because he tries to patrimonialize the pain before the damage caused by the band while "he makes the ball to Bildu".
"The second part is here"
For the
popular,
there is no doubt that the announcement is "one more step in the roadmap designed between Otegi and the PSOE." "The Budgets are already with the vote of Bildu and now comes the second part, which is none other than the return to the streets of those who are serving time for crimes of terrorism," said the parliamentary spokeswoman, Cuca Gamarra. This is the "next step", he stressed for those who, however, and even being a "relief" that there are no tributes to ETA, there is still a need for a regulation that prohibits them. In that sense, the PP does bet on the initiative of Cs and assures "not to understand" the vote against it from the PSOE.
United We, meanwhile, considers that the prisoners' statement "arrives late, but it does." For the
purple
formation
,
it is the "definitive step" that should cause proposals such as the one sponsored by Ciudadanos to decline. This group describes as "embarrassing" the tributes to ETA but considers that the announcement made yesterday "implies a request for forgiveness and apology" from the band and is "congratulated" for it.
The PDeCAT also describes the announcement of the group of prisoners as a "correct decision".
"This is the way", has assured his spokesman
Ferran Bel
for whom "the question of ETA should not be used politically" as, in his opinion, do Vox and PP and "now Citizens are also paying."
For PDeCAT, the initiative of the prisoners is "reasonable and restorative" and opens the way to "acquire a certain normality" in relation to the debate on terrorism and the victims of whose pain "it is not welcome or constructive to take advantage of."
ERC has also been satisfied with the announcement of the prisoners and has recalled that Bildu, its parliamentary ally, has already expressed, through its spokesman,
Mertxe Aizpurua
, the convenience of proceeding to a "reflection" on the
Etorri ongi
.
For Gabriel Rufián, the resounding rejection of the PP is not surprising because he revolts at the fact that "the
copyright
of savagery" in this area "has been taken from him by Vox."
