There has been a heated debate between EH Bildu and PP in the election of the new Ombudsman
The appointment of the new Ombudsman, Mikel Mancisidor, ends with a clash between the PP and EH Bildu. The coalition criticizes that Mancisidor "does not have the right level of Euskera" and questions the PP's support for his candidacy.
The appointment of the new Ombudsman, Mikel Mancisidor, has ended with a tense debate in Parliament. The PP and EH Bildu have crossed accusations. The coalition has strongly criticized the election of Mancisidor because it does not have, in the words of EH Bildu, "the right level of Euskera".
Mancisidor himself has refused to respond to these words from EH Bildu because "today is not the day to get into controversy." "I thank all MPs, whatever they voted for, I want to be everyone's ombudsman," he added.
In addition to saying that the Euskera in Mancisidor is a poor knowledge, Arkaitz Rodriguez (EH Bildu), a member of parliament of the main opposition group , has criticized Mancisidor's election for "failing to guarantee neutrality and political independence" and for having published articles with opinions\u00A0"against left-wing independence".
He has also criticised the fact that PNV and PSE-EE have agreed to this position with a party of 'dark times', referring to the PP. 'In the morning they say' Aiuso, Euskadi euskaldun 'and in the afternoon they agree with the PP of Ayuso.
The president of the Basque PP ,Javier de Andrés, has argued that Mancisidor has the right conditions to be an ararteko and has reiterated the need for human rights agreements in the Basque Country."Despite the threats, know that sooner or later you will be killed as a political force, "he warned the abertzale coalition.
Xabier Barandiaran (PNV) has defended Mancisidor's profile because he is "highly trained", has a professional background and is linked to human rights.
Finally, Jon Hernandez (Sumar) has justified his blank vote because the figure of the Ararteko must have "the greatest possible consensus" which, in his view, neither the PNV nor the PSE-EE have worked on.
