Eusko Ekintza

Members of Eusko Ekintza

According to sare antifaxista, a new political party has been created: Eusko Ekintza (basque action). This new political party, was publicly presented the past weekend.

Eusko Ekintza members were in the past militants of Herri Batasuna (pro-independence and socialist political party outlawed in south basque country), EA (pro-independence and socialdemocrat) and other organizations. They did a press conference in Altsasu (Nafarroa south basque country). The same town where Herri Batasuna was created on 1978.

The official promoters were: Peio Mari Olaeta, Nekane Garmendia, Gotzone Rekondo, Enrike Lertxundi, Jakue Paskual, Santi Merino and Arritxu Santamaria. According to them, they represent a reality that do not have a space in official Abertzale left. Although, they agree with other basque organizations of Abertzale left in their struggle for independence and socialism. They support a socialism with strong public services and cooperative.

They are against capytalist system and support people's organization for building a new social/economical/political system. They also are going to fight against ecological opression, patriarchal system, homophobia and xenophobia.

They respect all the victims of basque conflict. But, according to them, the spanish/french dirty war and spanish dictatorship victims are not receiving justice. State crimes have not been punished. 

"It is necessary to require an amnisty for basque political prisoners and refugees" they said.
