The PSE-EE demands in the Basque Parliament not to reveal the origin of the detainees

According to the Socialists, the publication of this information in the press releases of the Ertzaintza supports the speech of the PP and Vox to "link immigration and crime." EH Bildu has tabled a motion not to provide this data, but the PSE-EE has voted against it.

The PSE-EEhas asked on Thursday to set aside the Department of Safety's decision to publish in press releases the origin of the detainees because it only encourages the speech of the PP and Vox to "link immigration and crime."

Socialist parliamentarian Mira Gallastegi said so during the debate on the motion tabled by EH Bilducalling for the Department of Safety and Security to refuse to provide data on the origin of the detainees.

However, the PSE-EE did not support the motion with its votes, which did not succeed because PNV, PP and Vox opposed it; only EH Bildu and Sinti voted in favour of the proposals.

Despite calls by EH Bildu and Sumarr to expose the PSE-EE's position with their votes, Gallastegi has insisted on rejecting the motion, as his intention is for the Department of Safety and Security "to back down and not slap Mr. Zupiria in Parliament."

Gallastegi has argued that "it gives the impression" that communicative change is "to agree with the right and the extreme right," and, after all, "it only gives what the PP and Vox want: to create a false link between migration and crime and to provoke xenophobia and fear."

For her part, EH Bildu's representative, Nerea Kortajarena , has reproached the PNV for "defending the indefensible without blushing" because this change "solves nothing and opens the door to manipulation by the right and the extreme right."

The PNV spokesman, Joseba Diez Antxustegi, has argued that this is a "courageous" decision and has said that it responds to a policy of transparency aimed at "articulating policies that help ensure security."

The popular Ainhoa Domaica supports reporting the origin of the detainees and urges the local police to do so as well. She believes that this "sudden change of the PNV" responds to the party's attempt to "cover up its disastrous management of crime and its responsibility for its growth."
