Batasuna leader voices "worry" for socialists' "lack of maturity"

08/17/2006

Likewise, outlawed Batasuna spokesman has regretted the attempts of the Socialist Party to "distort" the contents of a future agreement for political normalisation.

Banned leftwing nationalist spokesman, Arnaldo Otegi, has voiced today his "worry" for the development of the peace process due to the "lack of maturity and responsibility of socialist leaders. In his opinion, they try to "distort" the contents of a future agreement for political normalisation in the Basque Country.

Otegi, who offered a press conference in Donostia-San Sebastián alongside party member Rufi Etxeberria, has said nobody can believe that in the talks with socialists preceding the cease-fire Navarre was not taken as part of the peace process, or that leftwing nationalism swore allegiance to the Spanish Constitution, as some socialist leaders pretend to affirm.

Likewise, he has voiced his will to work for a compromise within the next few weeks to start a multiparty dialogue that doesn't exclude territories and respects the will of Basques.
