The PNV calls for political will to deepen the technical possibilities for the transfer of the 'Gernika'

The PNV spokeswoman at the Congress, Maribel Vaquero, has assured us that she does not question the technical reports of the experts at the Reina Sofía Museum, that they do not recommend moving the painting, but has asked for more expert reports.

After the Minister of Culture, Ernest Urtasun, refused to transfer the Gernika de A0picasso to the Basque Country, the PNV spokesman at the Congress, Maribel Cowboy, believes that "if there were more political will there would be more opportunities to move the work".

"This political will is necessary," the representative abertzale reiterated in an interview in Onda Vasca. "Political will avoids technical problems that may often exist," he said.



Cowboy has assured  that he does not question the technical reports of the experts at the Reina Sofia Museum who do not recommend moving the painting, but has requested more expert reports. 

He recalled that the painting "has crossed half the world" and once "stayed" in Madrid in 1992 and has not moved since because of the technical difficulties mentioned, but stressed that "many years have passed since 1992 and techniques have improved". It has therefore called for a "thorough" investigation of international technicians and experts in the transport of works of art.

"We've seen more impossible things," said Cowboy, who stressed that "this government often says you can't do one thing, and then, after a while, then you can." "Political will is a bonus in decision-making," he repeated.
