EH Bildu considers it "outrageous" that there has been "silence" and "a painting" about the torture report so quickly condemns it
EH Bildu has described as "outrageous" the "silence"of politicians and the media in the face of last week's UN report on torture. "So serious a denunciation "The abertzale coalition has found it surprising that the news went unnoticed and that, on the contrary, there was so much noise about the incidents in Azpeitia following a painting.
Arkaitz Rodriguez ,Secretary of Political Action of EH Bildu, believes that the UN report is a "tremendous blow" to the Spanish state because the reality reflected in it "has shown that the state has used violence" in the Basque country, refuting the narrative of those who deny it.
At a press conference, he stated that this document "reflects what has long been denounced by the independence of the left, that at least 5,349 people have been tortured in this country in the last 60 years."
The UN report is very important and historic because it confirms something that is well known in this country. "
He has also stressed that this announcement "also confirms that torture has been absolutely unpunished in this country." Rodriguez believes that "this would be a scandal in any country in Europe and would lead to resignations, but not in the Spanish state."
In this regard, he has stressed the speed with which the disturbances that occurred in the early morning of Sunday in Azpeitia following a painting have spread to the four winds, and has denounced the fact that no one has spoken a single word about the report issued by the UN four days ago.
The United Nations Human Rights Commission issued a report last Friday urging the Spanish State to adapt the definition of the crime of torture to international standards.
This report is "very important and historic because, in Rodriguez's view, it confirms something that is well known in this country", since left-wing independence has often denounced torture as a "systematic practice"and this reality "continues to have absolute impunity".
