Aznar warns of "a general release of terrorists in prison" and of "a consultation, also in the Basque Country"

BILBAO, 23 May. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Former Prime Minister José María Aznar has warned of the "devastating" consequences of the "payment" that President Pedro Sánchez is going to make to his Catalan and Basque pro-independence partners, which in the case of the Basque Country will mean that all ETA prisoners who have been transferred to Euskadi, "we will see them walking the streets". "There will be a general release of terrorists in prison and there will also be a consultation in the Basque Country. That is the price that Sánchez is willing to pay," he warned.

Aznar has participated in an electoral meeting in Bilbao, together with the president of the Vasco PP, Carlos Iturgaiz, the candidate for mayor of Bilbao Esther Martínez, and the candidate for deputy general, Raquel González, where he has asked if "we are willing to pay that price". "Do we all of Spaniards want to be willing to pay that price?", She questioned.

As he has criticized, the pacts and policies practiced by the Government are in the hands of "extremist minorities", for which he has accused "Sánchez's party" of ceasing to be a "constitutional bulwark" to become a "constitutional problem". for Spain.

For this reason, he has asserted that "the only constitutional bastion, the only democratic bastion, the only bastion of freedoms in Spain, whether some like it better or others like it better, is called the Popular Party. The only one that can avoid that decision ".

In this sense, he has asked for a vote, on May 28 and then in December, to obtain the least dependent government possible "and that government can only be from the Popular Party." "Today saying constitution, democracy and progress in Spain means saying Partido Popular and saying Alberto Núñez Feijóo", he exclaimed.

For the former Prime Minister, during all these years "extremist" minorities have dedicated themselves to trying to control the institutions, "tampering with them and trying to weaken them."

"A country is so much stronger, the stronger its institutions are, it is so much more competitive, the more solid institutions are and represent everyone, so we have to strengthen the Spanish nation and rearm the Spanish State, because a democracy and a A nation like Spain has the right to defend itself if it is attacked by those who try to put an end to it," he said.
