Otegi says Spanish government firmly committed to "harassment"

According to the Nationalist leader, "only recognising the rights of all the parties and respecting all the commitments" will be possible "to coordinate a process with democratic foundations in the Basque Country".

Spokesman of Batasuna Arnaldo Otegi assured on Tuesday that Spanish President Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and his government should "change their attitude and conditions in order to build a process with democratic solutions, making use of the political negotiation".

Otegi, who attended a press conference in Donostia-San Sebastian with fellow party member Joseba Permach, read aloud a statement. The leader of the banned party declared that "the constant aggressions by Spanish police and courts" is a result of the firm commitment to "harassment" of Zapatero's government, which makes it impossible to carry out "a process of multilateral dialogue in the Basque Country".

"Only recognising the rights of all the parties, respecting all the commitments and having a true will to solve the conflict will be possible to coordinate a serious process with democratic foundations in the Basque Country", Otegia added.

"This is the will and the commitment of Batasuna, the Spanish government should decide his", he concluded.
