The left-wing parties EH Bildu, Podemos Euskadi, Ezker Anitza, Berdeak Equo and Sumar Mugimendua have claimed on Saturday in Vitoria-Gasteiz the need for an " anti-fascist front"  to deal with the" reactionary wave "and have called for a" new process of country democratization of the state ".

The parties have held an event in front of the new cathedral of the Alavesa capital on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the coup d'état of 18 July 1936. They recall that 90 years ago, a group of military personnel, "supported by businessmen, aristocrats, landowners and the hierarchy of the Catholic church", decided to carry out a coup against "the Government of the Republic, the legitimate government".

According to these parties, even today, "the reactionary wave shakes the world," and the Spanish state "is no stranger to that wave," while accusing the PP and Vox of forming a "reactionary bloc."

Faced with this situation, they argue that "it is necessary to articulate broad fronts and minimum programmes"and call for a" newpopular, republican, democratic,municipal and internationalist process  "to" shield social, collective and national rights and put an end to impunity and corruption. "They also call for the formation of an" anti-fascist front at state and European level "that favours" a fully democratic and illusory alternative for the grass-roots classes. "

Finally, they call for the protection of "values such as equality, justice, solidarity, feminism or diversity."
