Ermua (Vizcaya) (EFE) neither the present nor the future should be imposed by those who planned, executed or applauded crimes” such as that of the PP mayor.
Marimar Blanco, sister of the murdered mayor, Carlos Iturgaiz, president of the Basque PP, and Bea Fanjul, president of Nuevas Generaciones and head of list of the PP to Congress for Vizcaya.
Before his own, Feijóo recalled that the popular ones propose in their program to modify the electoral law “to prevent those who have been convicted of terrorism from being eligible without proving repentance, forgiveness and compensation to the victims and collaboration with Justice.”
The PP also promises to change the crime of homage and exaltation of terrorists so that “acts of humiliation to the victims” cannot be held, to continue working to clarify the 379 crimes to be solved and link prison benefits to collaboration in clarifying these cases.
Feijóo has stated that it was the “strong resolve” that the victims inspired throughout the nation that defeated the murderers and “has to continue defeating their henchmen.”
“Those who killed used the alibis of ideas that encouraged the execution of people like Miguel Ángel Blanco. If those ideas could not with the democratic force then, they should not be able now either, neither the present nor the future must be imposed by those who planned, executed or applauded crimes like that of Miguel Ángel Blanco”.
“Neither of those who did not repent, who continue to not collaborate in the resolution of so many murders or who give shelter to those murderers,” said the PP candidate.
Feijóo claims the “spirit of Ermua” and rejects a “memory” that “divides”. In Miguel Ángel Blanco he sees the testimony that there was a terrible time “in which there were heroes and vile criminals like their murderers” and he promises to keep reminding him when there are “adversaries” who “fought and are fighting to undermine coexistence”.
Both Marimar Blanco and Iturgaiz have explicitly charged against the PSOE for its agreements with EH Bildu, which, according to Miguel Ángel’s sister and PP deputy, legitimize ETA, blur the spirit of Ermua and “make terror trivial” . Both have told Feijóo that they hope that after 23J he will be president of the Government.
