This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
the union of forces has borne fruit during recent legislative terms
faced with the threat that a government of the reactionary bloc in the state would pose, the Basque and Catalan sovereignist left knows that there is a contest on 29 November. And it is possible to win it, but to do so it is necessary to join forces, unite wills and put first what our peoples share: the defence of their rights, decent living conditions and their ability to decide their future
this historic moment requires perspective and responsibility to build an alternative capable of standing up to the reactionary bloc
The freedom of our nations and the expansion of citizens’ rights are goals that deserve every shared effort
