Otegi said that the "first objective" of leftwing now is to achieve "political participation of all".
The former spokesman for Batasuna, Arnaldo Otegi, assures that, at present, achieving a minimum level sufficient to ensure political participation of all "is" the first target "left-wing nationalism in the context of the" vias and democratic instruments "in the search for the independence of" Euskal Herria ".
In addition, explains that "if the so-called 'transition', the autonomous model pivot on the centrality, sto credits, of the regionalism of PNV, in this new political phase in this 'second democratic transition base', the Independent has vocation to become a of the principal axes to determine, from a democratic agreement of resolution to the conflict, the progressive evolution of the current legal and political framework. "
In an interview in Gara, picked up by Europa Press, Otegi, currently being held in jail, sto credits, in Logrono and cited as "representative of the nationalist left," says that "due to the exhaustion of the political framework of assimilation imposed Euskal Hego Country-Euskadi and Navarre, at the exit of the Franco regime, the State can not find substitutes to integrate the nationalist politicians and, in general, the critical mass capable of starring in the aforementioned political and social, gaia gold, change. "
"We've worn the assimilation model state and strengthened the strategic position of the nationalist movement, that is the not inconsiderable victory of leftwing politics in these thirty years of struggle," he says.
For Otegi, we are currently in a "transit between cycles" despite recognizing that, in recent years, "the State has achieved in recent years to impose blocking situations and levels of neutralization" of the leftwing nationalist strategy considering that this situation "runs in his favor."
However, it also warns that "the state has no alternative policy to deal with the wear of the current model beyond the purely autonomous."
The former spokesman for Batasuna says, "to the political crisis on the creeping territorial model for years in the Spanish State" that is found in "the permanent situation of conflict with Euskal Herria and the crisis opened by reason of the verdict on the Statute catalan "is added in the last days" an economic crisis of huge dimensions and a manipulation of state powers in the fight partisan politics, as evidenced by the use of justice. "
In his view, to these "general coordinates", the left-wing nationalism has managed to "adapt its strategy to condition the political blockade of unionism and place the sovereign independence as an option-tactical-strategic future."
"So we decided to go with a clear offer in strategic terms, the accumulation of forces in favor of Basque state, without make us forget that the objective of the current political stage is to build the democratic playing field where all the sensitivities and family policies of the country can fully develop their respective option, with the only limit to the popular will. An offer based on the development of democratic ways and tools, "he remarks. PRESSURE
Otegi also ruled that the leftwing nationalist commitment is the result of "the pressure of the repressive strategy," although this has caused "enormous suffering and hardship to the independence movement."
Alsothat "betting exchange cycle" emerges is not a sequel, "as a starting point, what has been achieved before the Spanish government started to turn."
"To open this process in its early stages, we went to our people and the international community. To them we must respond appropriately, putting everything in our power to create the optimum conditions to consolidate this new time," he says.
You indicated that your bet is on a path towards independence for Euskal Herria "by exclusively political and democratic ways," while others "impose their political project by the violation of rights, including the right to decide, and repressive violence .
"The unilateral opening of a democratic process as the key to advancing political change opens up new possibilities for records and favorable modification of the correlation of forces, both on tactical objectives of the conflict-solving and new strategic frameworks, such as sizing of the independence- -. It is not merely a theoretical consideration, "he explains.
In this regard, notes that the "commitments that are and will be defined in the future, as the strategic agreement between EA and left-wing nationalism, the expansion of social expressions of independence, the deepening of the unity of nationalist trade union action or impulse instrument against the breach of civil and political rights are a reflection of the political stakes. "
Otegi also said that after the transition in which "the autonomous model pivot on the centrality of the PNV regionalism" in the "new political phase", defined as a "'second transition' democratic base, the Independent has vocation become one of the principal axes to determine, from a democratic agreement of resolution to the conflict, the progressive evolution of the current legal and political framework. "
"This democratic process will have different stages and seasons, and its development must be achieved and implemented through bilateral agreements and multilateral character between the Basque agents, with the international community and the states with which we maintain the secular conflict," he adds.
As for immediate action, insists that "at this time, the first objective" is to achieve "the minimum to ensure sufficient democratic political participation of all" and "cushion the serious situations of violations of rights suffered in Euskal Herria, so to advance a process of fair and final resolution.
