The PP pays tribute to the victims of ETA and denounces the pact with Bildu on the Memory Law

He reproaches him that the balance of his management is the "lie" because he repeated up to 20 times that he would never agree with Bildu

The PP spokesperson in Congress, Cuca Gamarra, has started her reply speech in the Debate on the State of the Nation asking for a minute of silence for the victims of ETA and denouncing the pacts of the Government of Pedro Sánchez with EH Bildu, among them in the new Law of Democratic Memory, since they shed a "cloak of ignominy" on the Transition.

All the parliamentary groups have supported the standing minute of silence, among them the members of the Government and the deputies of EH Bildu, in memory of Miguel Ángel Blanco, the PP councilor assassinated by ETA now 25 years ago, which is why The King and Sánchez presided over an act in his memory this Sunday in Ermua.

Immediately afterwards, the 'popular' spokesperson made Sánchez and EH Bildu ugly - with express mention of their spokesperson, Mertxe Aizpurua - that with the new Democratic Memory Law they seek to "jeopardize the story of the exemplary Transition", reiterating , as the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, did over the weekend, that when they reach the Government they will repeal this rule.

Gamarra --with a blue bow on his lapel in homage to the victims-- has vindicated the 'spirit of Ermua' that emerged as a response to the ETA attack against Miguel Ángel Blanco in an initial speech in which he also condemned the recent aggression they suffered councilors and policemen at the San Fermín festivities in Pamplona.

"That same spirit of civic rebellion", Gamarra said in reference to the citizen's response against ETA for Blanco's assassination, "is what today places us in front of his government since, just to resist, he chose the path of the unworthy pacts". The spokeswoman has reproached turning Bildu into a "notary of the Transition" for the agreement on the Memory Law that extends to 1983 the recognition of the victims, including therefore those of the GAL.

In his initial reproach, Gamarra has described the agreements with EH Bildu as "immoral". "He appeared in the elections stating the opposite, or do you not remember that he said he would not agree with Bildu and that he was willing to remember it up to 20 times? Would he say it today even if it was just one more time?" asked.

"You and the lie, synthesis of this legislature, balance of your management," Gamarra emphasized, recalling that he also denied pardon to the leaders of the 'procés' or that he would bring to Spain the fugitive former president of the Generalitat Carles de Puigdemont.

Gamarra began his speech remembering that on this day, 25 years ago, Miguel Ángel Blanco was located, who died hours later from the two shots fired by the terrorist Francisco Javier García Gaztelu, 'Txapote'. He has also alluded to EH Bildu because he still does not expressly condemn the attacks and that Justice is investigating the ETA leaders for unsolved crimes, citing the case of 'Kantauri', 'Mikel Antza', 'Anboto' and 'Iñaki de Rentería '.

"ETA was defeated by the Police, the Civil Guard and Spanish society. It began to die on the day of the civic rebellion of the Spanish nation. It was the true beginning of the end of the terrorist group, it is the democratic memory to which we never owe resign," he defended.

Gamarra recalled that the terrorist group killed policemen, women, children, politicians, businessmen and "all kinds of workers", addressing Bildu's spokeswoman at this point. "Even, Mrs. Aizpurua, to some who had previously been yours like 'Yoyes".

The PP spokeswoman, highly applauded by her bench, praised those who resisted against ETA terrorism, citing the historian Fernando García de Cortázar, or those who continued to search until they achieved the release of former prison official José Antonio Ortega Lara, days before the kidnapping and murder of Miguel Ángel Blanco.

For this reason, he has said that the PP understands as a necessity "to continue defending memory, reparation and justice" for all victims of terrorism.
