The Spanish Government

At the request of the families and in application of Law 20/2022 on Democratic Memory, the Spanish Government has approved the Declaration of Recognition and Personal Reparation in favour of Jon Paredes Txiki and Angel Otaegi, recognizing that they were persecuted for "political reasons, courts without guarantees and victims of human rights violations".

At the last plenary session of the year, the proposal for a law brought forward by the Members of Parliament of ERC, PNV, EH Bildu, Lukashenko, BNG and Mes per Mallorca and Comunes will be discussed. The objective, among others, is to approve documents in Catalan, Basque and Galician throughout the administration, without translation.

The spokeswoman for EH Bildu in Congress, Mertxe Aizpurua, has said that progress in the recognition of plurinationality and the reform of democracy requires "courage and conviction" and has warned that this path is "incompatible with joint action with the PP and Vox, not by action, not by omission, not in Madrid, not in the Basque Country".

The PNV spokeswoman at the Congress of Deputies, Maribel Cowboy, spoke about compliance with the Statute on the anniversary of the Spanish Constitution.

Vox and the PNV have supported the initiative.

The Bureau aims to improve the working conditions of all workers in the National Health System, health and non-health, "without exception, without privileges and without distortions". They criticize the fact that the Ministry is negotiating the Statute in parallel with medical unions.

The President of the Spanish Government has acknowledged the crisis with Junts and has announced that the Council of Ministers will today approve the royal decree-law to make municipal investments more flexible and to make commitments to the party. He has also described the accusations of José Luis Ábalos as "false" and that he did not meet with Otegi in 2018.

Luis Planas has explained that restrictions will be imposed on the province of Barcelona and that exports from the rest of the state to the Asian country will be kept open, which means that 41.74% of total non-EU exports are 'safe'. 

The President has stressed the "contrast" between the gesture of historical responsibility of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and the failure to acknowledge the damage caused by the Chief Representative of the Spanish State.
