As we have seen, sometimes, both the hostages and the leaders, therefore the party, within a few days of saying one thing, express the opposite, at one point they refer to the new status agreed with the Basque bourgeoisie and then they do not like being considered autonomists. Perhaps because many in Euskal Herria are thinking that the status of Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa is merely a complement to Spain.

This is what it means to abandon the strategic objectives of the Basque National Liberation Movement and to integrate into the system and, at the same time, to claim “nothing happens, because we are the ones of the past”. In short, they are dedicated to pure schizophrenia or lie, to Basque social democracy (to conceal the role assigned to it by the capital, whether from the right, from the centre or from the left.

In this way, they express their desire to break with the 1978 regime and, at the same time, they are proud of the vote to GAL-PSOE, saying that they will vote again in favour of the “Basque society” (Iñarritu, defender of Zionism). In the same way, and as we pointed out recently, Basque society is constantly witnessing to sew or break what it demands to do at all times.

For a few days they talk about self-determination, although the dynamic is almost forgotten, and they ask about the right to self-determination, a fundamental and inalienable right, which is a confusion in popular language.

At the same time, reference is made to the independence process of the three lanes (Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa or Euskadi, Alta Navarra and Iparralde). Three different lanes and rhythms, and through magic will form Basque independence by the year 2026, what amazing! Will there be anything to do with the excellent relations with the American imperialists (United States)? In other words, as these murderous and terrorist imperialists invade and destroy countries from all continents, they may, as happened in the Kosovo of the former Yugoslavia, be able to build the State of the Basque Country. We are aware that they are not the same cases and conditions, but if it is located on the other side of the pit, anything can happen.

They also refer to the Independence Front. We ask who the Basques are in this alleged Front, bearing in mind that so far the Basque institutionalist forces are subject to the legislation of our occupants. We insist that we see no real agent among the Basque autonomists and institutionalized to form this front.

They defend the break with the “78 regime”. To know what we are talking about, we understand this regime as a reform to move from the Franco dictatorship to the bourgeois dictatorship, with the parliamentary monarchy. But, of course, they vote for the GAL betting on the welfare of Basque society, the best option.

No one paralyses the people (does not win) … but it has become clear that the 35, 5 and 47 stopped. In fact, besides not being a model sampling pattern, it does not coincide with the previous phrase, especially in the world of the Left Abertzale, which extends far beyond the structures, considering that what was said was always fulfilled and not the other way, as it happens in most of the political spectra.

He has also been convinced that peace and freedom will arrive sooner or later in Euskal Herria. In this regard, we say that Independence and Socialism are the historic Basque National Liberation Movements and the most precious permanent demands of the entire Abertzale Left. Now, according to the interpretation of Sortu, Basque society wants peace and freedom. For them, as has been demonstrated, they are the greatest desire of all Basques and Basques living in Euskal Herria, as they have all the basic needs covered: decent employment, housing yes or for all, higher education through public funding, public health system without cuts, retirement… Therefore, peace and freedom? What people is it about? Do you use the wrong guide?

Sortu continues to claim that the left-wing independence vote is the one that causes the most damage to them. Well, we repeat over and over again that if the situation worsens, as has happened before, EH Bildu’s vote will be in favour of the LAGs, and he is ready to do so again. As we say, the coherent and revolutionary Basque political line is detrimental to the Spanish strategies (without exception), because it cannot be accepted that a harakiri be made against the enemies.

Any movement or other structure that seeks to bring about a radical change in the economic, capitalist and patriarchal system always expresses its will to create an independent and revolutionary Basque labour movement. This movement must be independent of the parties, trade unions and other powers, and be the subject of all their freedom. Capital is interested in diversifying the fronts of struggle to conceal national and class oppression.

We insist that they want the independence of Euskal Herria by the year 2026, but when it comes to amnesty, they panic. Everything will have to be done to get the Basque political prisoners to go out into the streets and to return deportees and exiles, who were forgotten by the entire Basque National Liberation Movement. But we also say that real amnesty is essential in order to achieve our final objectives, because tomorrow and the day after, of course, we will have new Basque political prisoners.

Do not forget that as it approaches 10 November, clear and forceful approaches will be pursued. But after the electoral exhaustion, the new statute of autonomy will be resumed, at the same time as dialogue will be held with the employers on the violent re-emergence of the economic crisis, which in practice is hiding so many people, etc.

We call for a gigantic dynamic in favour of active and revolutionary abstention, as well as contributing to the formation as soon as possible of the socialist and revolutionary Basque national liberation movement.
