Two non-legislative proposals have been made in Parliament following the riots at the Falange event in Vitoria

PNV and PSE-EE propose a text condemning the incidents "firmly" EH Bildu proposes to ban any public act of fascism

The riots were caused by the presence of the Falange in Vitoria.

PNV and PSE-EE have registered a non-legislative proposal in the Basque Parliament to "strongly" condemn the incidents that occurred on Sunday in Vitoria-Gasteiz between participants in a Falange event and participants in anti-mobilization protests.

For its part, EH Bildu has registered another to demand that the Basque Government use "all available means" to prevent the recurrence of fascist rallies or demonstrations on Sunday.

PNV MP Joseba Diez Antxustegi and PSE-EE MP Ekain Rico have appeared in the Basque Parliament to present their initiative.

In the justification of the text, jeltzales and socialists stress that the incidents caused "situations of real danger to citizens, attacks on agents of the Ertzaintza and damage to urban furniture and private property".

The initiative states that "regardless of the shared rejection of fascism represented by the Falange, we are perplexed, by 2025, at the attempt to bring certain political and social actors into public debate, beyond the examination of the direct responsibility demanded of all summoners and attendees for the use of violence as a form of political expression".

In its proposal, the abertzale coalition proposes to "condemn outright" any public act of extolling fascism or the Franco dictatorship "for the support that the victims of Francoism deserve and for the respect that the suffering of this people deserves," EH Bildu himself said in a statement.

The coalition has called on the Basque Government to study the anti-fascist legislation in Europe 'so that it can also be applied in Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa'.

Gorka Ortiz of Guinea, member of parliament of EH Bildu, has warned that "in this historic phase, false neutrality does not work, we need strong initiatives in the face of fascism."
