• PP Ayuso insists in Bilbao on the illegalization of Bildu despite the contrary directive of Genoa

The former president of the Government and the PP José María Aznar has rejected the argument used by Pedro Sánchez that it was the Socialists who ended up for ETA to verify that "we gave the total battle" with political and judicial measures that led to the illegalization of Herri Batasuna. After the "defeat" of the terrorist group, Aznar has warned of the "price" that Sánchez would be willing to pay to have the support of the "former terrorists" again to continue in La Moncloa. According to Aznar, with Sánchez "there will be a general release of [ETA] prisoners" and a sovereigntist "consultation" will be allowed in Euskadi and Catalonia.

Aznar has wrapped in Bilbao the candidates of the PP of Vizcaya Esther Martínez and Raquel González appealing to the "most necessary vote" against those who "want to end the country" in a "process in two acts" that will take place on May 28 and in the elections of December. For almost half an hour, Aznar has charged against the Government formed "by the party of Sánchez" (without mentioning at any time the PSOE) along with "communists, separatists, former terrorists and the bounty hunters of the PNV". The former president has warned in Bilbao that the "essential question" is "why Sánchez "insists on agreeing for the former terrorists", referring to EH Bildu. " What matters to [Sánchez] is to be in power at any price," Aznar said.

"Everything [in relation to ETA and its environment] was the same; either the battle was given to everything or it was not won, "Aznar warned after listening in recent weeks how President Sánchez attributed to socialist governments the victory against the terrorist group to counter criticism for its alliance with a coalition that presents 44 convicted of terrorism crimes. "I could say more things," Aznar has insinuated without specifying his reflection to endorse the PP of Núñez Feijóo.

The former president of the Government has ruled out any pact between the PP and the PSOE to claim that Alberto Núñez Feijóo leads a "strong government", without mentioning Vox as a possible ally. With vehemence before an audience made up of positions and supporters of the PP, Aznar has defended that the PP of Feijóo is the "only constitutional bulwark" while Sánchez represents a "constitutional problem" that places Spain in a "critical situation" with two electoral appointments in the coming months.

"The proetarras are the ones who rule in this country by the work and grace of Pedro Sánchez," warned Carlos Iturgaiz in the moments before Aznar's appearance in Bilbao. Iturgaiz and the president of Vizcaya and candidate for the Biscayan Provincial Council Raquel González have been in charge of 'warming up' an intervention by Aznar with EH Bildu as the protagonist. Iturgaiz has thanked Aznar for his presence just three days after the president of Madrid Isabel Díaz Ayuso campaigned for the Basque PP in Bilbao. Aznar, as in these elections Díaz Ayuso, also closed the list of the popular in the capital of Biscay when Antonio Basagoiti brushed the Mayor's Office of the Villa.

Almost 30 years later, the PP of Bilbao aspires to keep its three councilors in a Consistory controlled by the PNV that aims to achieve an absolute majority and that will repeat its government agreement with the Basque PSOE. An alliance between nationalists and socialists that goes beyond their agreements in the Basque institutions to become, according to Iturgaiz, the pillar of the "whitening" of EH Bildu.

"PNV and PSE allow unrepentant terrorists to govern in our institutions," Iturgaiz said. The leader of the Basque PP recalled the agreements between PNV, PSE-EE and EH Bildu in Basque towns such as Irún, Eibar, Nanclares de la Oca or Laguardia. Iturgaiz has customized in Pedro Sánchez this strategy of "whitening" of Bildu. "Of who whitewashes Bildu not a single lesson," said Iturgaiz referring to Pedro Sánchez.
