The parties pecked again for the appointment of Ararteko Mancisidor and the PP-EH Bildu quarrel

The leader of the Basque PP, Javier De Andrés, has acknowledged that "perhaps the use of the word exterminio was not the right thing to do. "However, the PP has argued that EH Bildu is" a political anomaly. "

In the Basque Parliament there was a heated and controversial plenary session for the appointment of Mikel Man

The PNVparliamentarian, Aritz Abaroa, has said that Thursday's was "embarrassing" and has argued that parliamentary debates should be "out of the Madrid atmosphere." He has denounced that both the PP and EH Bildu "polarized" the atmosphere. He has also accused EH Bildu of lying about the profile of the Ararteko. "EH Bildu said he would not vote for our candidate because Mancisidor was not Basque.

Eraitz Saez de Egilaz, MPof EH Bildu, believes that it is not acceptable to want to "distort" what happened on Thursday and that the controversy was not the result of the "polarization" of the PP and EH Bildu. He has denounced that jeltzales and socialists "have tried to hide that they had an agreement" with the PP.

Ekain Rico (PSE-EE) accuses EH Bildu of "acting" and believes that both the abertzale coalition and the PP "crossed all the lines." De Andrés's statements were, in his view, "inappropriate, wrong and undemocratic." In the words of EH Bildu, "I find it striking that Pello Otxandiano is inflamed, and De Andrés's statements were a turning point.

The PPMP, Santiago Lopez, has explained that he spoke to De Andrés today, who admitted that the word used on Thursday "may not have been the right one." However, he has stressed that EH Bildu is considered a "political anomaly" because of the "attacks" on Ernai by their youth organization and because they are led by a "torturer" (referring to Arnaldo Otegi).

Finally, Amaia Martínez (Vox) has considered Mikel Mancisidor's curriculum to be "extraordinary and perfect" and has criticized the attitude of EH Bildu, who has denounced that the coalition "is determined because those who do not know Euskera do not have the right to work in the Basque Country, cannot hold a public office and, if it were for some, would not even have the right to live."

PSE-EE says EH Bildu must definitely dissociate himself from the actions of some young people on the left abertzale
