EH Bildu: "We need to organize our forces to show that there is hope of building a better world."

Arnaldo Otegi, during EH Bildu's General Assembly last Saturday.

The Southern Political Bureau of the Sovereign Coalition has issued a statement with an analysis of the global situation and the events of recent weeks.

EH Bildu believes that Euskal Herria has "sufficient political, social, historical and economic conditions to articulate a response at the level of the historic moment in which we live."  "We believe, aware of our capabilities and our limitations, that we can do great things to stop the authoritarian wave, that there is a real alternative, and that another project for Europe is possible," the coalition said in its statement issued after the first annual meeting of the Political Bureauof the South this Monday.

In this regard, EH Bildu has called on the political and social actors of Euskal Herria to"value what we represent as a people" and "tell the world that there is an alternative to war and hopelessness." To this end, according to the statement, it is necessary to "organize forces" to demonstrate, through a "new national impulse", that there is an opportunity and hope to build a better world. "

Stressing that authoritarianism will be "a real threat to peoples and democracy" in 2026, EH Bildu has pointed out that the great powers use "imperialism, wars and the plundering of the planet's natural resources"  "to the detriment of peoples" and "in the meantime, the European Union and the elites operating around it have decided to retreat, further deepening the lack of their own project."

For this reason, the Sovereign Coalition considers "the invocation of the Union of Europe to be futile" because it does not have the "equal responsibility required by the historical moment" and has "allowed the authoritarian current to advance."  "This passive attitude is also contradictory to Russia's response to the invasion of Ukraine.

Finally, EH Bildu declares the need to "set aside particular interests, prioritizing our country first and promoting cooperation between different people."
