“Those parties should know that if they tighten the situation, this problem will increase intensely,” he stated in an interview on Radio Popular.
Otegi was thus referring to the critical reactions of both parties to the statements made yesterday by the Government delegate in Madrid, Francisco Martín, who stated that in the last five years, EH Bildu and other pro-independence parties “have done much more for the Spanish than what that all the jingoists with their wristbands have done together”.
“It is evident that if we support an increase in pensions in Congress, because it is good for the Basques, it is also good for the citizens of the rest of the communities”, Otegi explained in this regard.
He has criticized that these positions “provoke the Spanish right to scandal” and has reproached that “the Spanish left folds every time the Spanish right coughs.”
He has remarked that EH Bildu “does not want to be part of that tension raised by the right” and has opined that the strategy of PP and Vox in the face of the next general elections is “to go against the PSOE by putting ourselves in the middle”.
