EH Bildu believes that Philip VI "humiliated the victims" of Gernika, and PSE-EE and PP believe that the Spanish Government should not apologize
The PNV considers "missed opportunity" that the Spanish State, and in particular King Philip VI. A, should not ask for "forgiveness" for the bombing of Gernika, while the PSE-EE argues that the Spanish Government does not believe that it should apologize, and the PP believes that the King should not do so either.
In the "Parliament in the Waves" programme of Radio Euskadi, this Friday in Gernika the President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the King of Spain, Philip VI, and the President, Imanol Pradales, referred to the tribute paid to the victims of the bombing of Gernika.
The PNV parliamentarian Ainara Zelaia, in line with the lehendakari, believes that the Spanish state, and in this case the king of Spain, "was a missed opportunity to make this small gesture of apology and to pay tribute to the victims of the atrocity perpetrated against the civilian population of Gernika in 1937."
In his view, this apology from the head of the Spanish State would be "a step forward in historical memory and an improvement in coexistence".
He clarifies that the PNV does not want to link the current Spanish government and the head of state to the "cruelty" committed in 1937. He believes that to argue this is simply "to seek an excuse not to make this gesture of recognition towards the victims." He adds that in Germany, personalities "who have had nothing to do with the Nazi government that carried out the bombing" have considered it "necessary to make that gesture."
EHBildu Ander Goikoetxea, who did not participate in the events organized in Gernika for the presence of King Philip VI A, has stated that this Friday should be an "important day" for the memory of the victims of the bombing of Gernika and of all the victims of Francoism, but that the act "was blackened by the heir of Francoism", referring to Juan Carlos I and his son Felipe VI.
EH Bildu has stated that the presence of King Philip VI "humiliates the victims of that bombing" and that the best way to apologize would be to "abdicate and give way to a free republic that recognizes the national rights of Euskal Herria".
Itxaso Asensio of the PSE-EE , for his part, has stated that he does not believe that the current Spanish Government should apologize and has recalled that the socialists, together with communists and abertzales, were "persecuted" by Francoism.
According to him, it is "quite unfair" to want to link the current Spanish government to dictatorship "for pure political opportunism."
Finally, PPCongresswoman Laura Garrido said that Gernika has a "special meaning" and this Friday was remembered "a historic event", not only with the presence of the German Head of State, but also with the presence of Philip VI.
