The Basque authorities and political parties have condemned or rejected this week's threats and attacks on members of political parties or real estate: the attack on the headquarters of the People's Party in Bilbao, the placards in memory of the victims of ETA in Durango or the banner of Vitoria threatening politicians and institutions.

President Imanol Pradales has "strongly" condemned all these actions of the last few days in a post on the social network X. "It is not acceptable to impose ways of seeing the world. It is not acceptable and we do not accept it," he said, while expressing his "solidarity and support" to PP and PSE-EE members.

On Tuesday, the People's Party denounced theattack on the  headquarters that Ernai, the youth group of the left abertzale, has in Bilbao; they stained it with red paint and sailed a sign of Ernai, after which the president of the Basque PP, Javier de Andrés, said against the violence that "we must demand ethical soil from EH Bildu".

EH Bildu's rejection

Maria del Rio, thespokeswoman for EH Bildu's municipalities inBilbao, expressed her "rejection" of this attack. In her words, "EH Bildu is proposing a confrontation with the People's Party and Vox as part of the same backward bloc, always in purely political and dialectical terms," adding that "such events only benefit the campaign of victimization of the reactionary bloc."

On Wednesday, three plateswere placed by the City Council in memory of the people killed by ETA in Durango. 

The Fernando Buesa and Covite associations denounced that "hatred and violent radicalization" have not disappeared in the Basque Country, and the PP spokesman in the municipality, Carlos García, stated that he will file a complaint with the Ertzaintza for hate crimes and damage.

On the same day, a banner of threats appeared in Vitoria-Gasteiz:\u00The General Secretary of the A0PSE-EE, Eneko Andueza, the President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso (PP), the President of Vox, Santiago Abascal, the activist Vito Quiles and the symbol of the Ertzaintza were represented in two red circles.

Vitoria-Gasteiz Udala has issued a joint declaration signed by PSE-EE, PNV, PP and Elkarrekin Podemos, in which it "strongly condemns these facts, which constitute an obvious way of signalling and threatening, totally incompatible with the values of a democratic society such as ours" and "rejects this direct attack on coexistence and diversity, pillars that underpin our freedoms."

EH Bildu has disagreed with the City Council's statement, but has "strongly rejected"what happened. o sovereign coalition believes that "political criticism should be expressed only in political and dialectical terms" and has called on all political and social actors in the Basque Country to "act responsibly". 

For her part, Vox MP Amaya Martinez has denounced that PNV and PSE have laundered EH Bildu and now the young people on the left abertzale "think they can do these things without consequences."
