The Navarre Parliament has rejected two institutional statements by UPN and PP against Korrika
The spokespersons for the groups have highlighted their differences over the display of photos of ETA prisoners in the race for the Euskera and the Korrika itself.
The Board of Speakers of the Navarre Parliamenthas rejected two institutional statements submitted by UPN and PPN in connection with the display of photos of ETA prisoners in the Korrika. Both texts have not obtained sufficient support to move forward.
Theinitiative presented by UPN called, among other things, for the "condemnation" of the display of images of ETA prisoners in the race for the Euskera, for the organizers to ask for a "public apology" and for the "return of public subsidies" received. If such events were repeated, it also called for the prohibition of the Korrika itself.
In the same vein, the PPNhas also called for the withdrawal of public subsidies to any initiative that "humiliates victims" and "elevates terrorism". In this case, UPN, PSN and the Joint Group have joined the text, while EH Bildu, Geroa Bai and Contigo-Zurekin have voted against.
Subsequently, in statements to the media, UPN's spokesman, Javier Esparza , has expressed his "solidarity" with the families of the victims of ETA and criticized the PSN for not having "properly" denounced what happened with the photos of the prisoners. He has also strongly criticized the organization of Korrika itself because, in his words, "the exaltation of terrorism has no place anywhere."
Kevin Lucero of the PSN has also denounced the display of photos of prisoners and has taken advantage of the appearance to condemn the "veto" to the CCOO union. "Exclusion does not help the Euskera," he said.
For his part, EH Bildu MP Mikel Zabaleta has highlighted Korrika's contribution to the Euskera and believes that behind the "controversy" surrounding the initiative lies only the will to "confuse reality." "The intention to discredit the initiative, which brings together thousands of people," he said.
Finally, Pablo Azconaof Geroa Bai has also defended the work of Korrika, but believes that the display of photos of prisoners "does not help". He called for reflection without "criminalizing" the initiative.
