Page demands a State pact to prevent EH Bildu from being decisive in Spain

The president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, has demanded this Thursday a State pact between the constitutionalist parties to prevent EH Bildu from being decisive in deciding issues about the governability of Spain.

García-Page has raised this pact in statements to journalists in Brussels, where he is the protagonist of an agenda that includes various meetings, among them in the Committee of the Regions, with the Commissioner for Agriculture and with the president of Extremadura, María Guardiola.

After EH Bildu's candidate for Lehendakari, Pello Otxandiano, has avoided calling ETA a terrorist group, he has stated that he would be in favor of EH Bildu not entering into negotiations and even less influencing issues regarding the governability of Spain. A different matter, he has said, is that he may add his votes to a specific law.

"Obviously, they are in Parliament. It is not a total exclusion, but what seems fundamental to me is that they are never decisive," commented Page.

That is why he has insisted that all those who want to end the system of coexistence and much more those who have also tried to do so through violence "cannot be allowed to be decisive and influential."

"They can and should participate in democratic life because the Constitution we have is very open and very inclusive, but they cannot be decisive," Page has reiterated, also specifically including Junts among the formations that should not be decisive.

Consequently, he has advocated for "an authentic State pact between the left and the right, between the constitutionalist parties, so that it is clear that it is one thing to participate in the political debate and another to give them the golden action, the golden key of Spanish politics".
