Several thousand people gathered yesterday in Pamplona’s Plaza Consistory, in response to the call made by the UPN, to reject the motion of no confidence presented by EH Bildu, PSN, Geroa Bai and Contigo-Zurekin against regional Cristina Ibarrola, which will make way for the City Council led by Joseba Acerón, of EH Bildu, Efe reports.
Under the slogan “Pamplona is not sold”, with posters reading “Memory, Dignity and Justice” and with the cry “Prisoners Get Out” or “Ibarola is not alone”, in the protests of the National Progressive Union, led by its president Javier Esparza, and formations such as the People’s Party joined the mayor herself. , with its president, Alberto Núñez Viejo, who accompanied the current Navarrese command, or Fox, in the presence of the vice president of Castile and León, Juan García Gallardo.
“convincing agreement”
Also present were former presidents of Navarre and UPN Miguel Sanz and Yolanda Bárcena; President of Aragon, Jorge Azcun (PP), and Secretary General of Citizens, Adrian Vázquez. Many attendees waved Navarre flags and displayed posters with messages such as “Betrayal of the Chair,” “PSN-PSOE Liars,” or “Cerdan, Comedian, Beldo Terrorist.” In addition, cries of “Ibarola is not alone, traitor to Chevette” or “Pugdemont is in prison” were heard.
Figo emphasized that the motion to censure in the Pamplona City Council in the capital of Navarra against the mayor of the UPN is the “first bill” of the “convincing agreement” between the PSOE and EH Bildu and also represents the “last lie” of President Pedro Sánchez.
The President of the People’s Party noted, “The problem is not a problem of shortcuts. It is a problem of dignity, democracy and morality. We knew that there was an agreement between Otegui and Sanchez and that the convincing agreement would have consequences. We were hiding for a long time, and now we know what the first bill and the last lie are.”
Figo stated that “the first bill is to hand over the city of Pamplona to Beldo and the last lie is the denial and insistence that – the Socialist Party – will never agree with Beldo.” He added: “Pedro Sanchez wants to be humiliated and forgotten, and we want dignity and memory. The truth is that the victims of the murders committed by ETA live in our memories, and they are always present.”
The head of the People’s Party added, “It is a lie and a miserable statement to say that Pamplona will have a progressive mayor, while it will have a reactionary mayor. It is an insult and miserable to say that Spain will win a progressive mayor.” mayor”.
Alberto Nunez Viejo stressed that “what the Socialist Party will lose is its dignity and its memory,” and added that “it will not be able to grant a political party that killed its comrades the position of mayor of the capital, Navarra.”
More packing
The proposal to impose censorship that was registered last Wednesday, and especially the agreement between the Socialists and the EH Bildu party to make this possible, prompted the regionalists to sever ties with the Socialist Workers Party and call for this mobilization, which will be followed by another mobilization on the 28th of this month. Half an hour before voting on the proposal.
Six months ago, on June 17, the Pamplona City Council was formed in a session that put the socialist group in the spotlight because its positive vote could make EH Bildu the city’s mayoral candidate. Finally, they voted eagerly, allowing access to the mayor’s office for the candidate from the most voted list, UPN (9 councillors), with the support of the People’s Party (2), in a 27-seat council.
Now, half a year later, all eyes are once again on the Socialists, who have been at the center of criticism because of the agreement reached with E.H. Bildo that now allows their candidate access to the mayor’s office.
EH Bildu candidate Joseba Acerón took a stand against ETA violence after the killing of Tomas Caballero. In May 1998, Asirun decided to sign a statement condemning the violence and asking terrorists to stop killing. n
