In this context, Esteban has asked for a "historical memory" egin of the events that have been decisive:" What happened in the so-called transition, on the 23rd, what happened with Mikel Zabalza, who was behind the Aldana bar attack, or what happened in the Sanfermines of March 3 and 78. "

"Europe is experiencing a worrying democratic setback and the ultra-right is very comfortable, "Esteban warned." Many are silent about those who want to deny the rights achieved. "He has therefore stressed the role of democratic nationalism in"maintaining stability" and "moving forward."
"The rights and freedomsthat we have today cannot be certified; they are not guaranteed, "Esteban warned, setting as an example the situation in Ukraine, Budapestorthe US.

"This is how fascism and authoritarianism are fought, "said Esteban, who has claimed the trajectory of his party in defending democracy."
