The Spanish socialist party (PSOE) has just secured a way to enhance support for its budget. It agreed to retire certain national law enforcement bodies from the region of Navarra, assigning a substantial part of this financial savings to that region as well as the Basque Country.
The move allows the ruling socialists to continue counting on the support of one of their key partners, Bildu, the political descendant of the currently inactive terrorist group ETA.
Santiago Abascal, leader of VOX, has accused PM Pedro Sanchez of “allying with the heirs of terrorism.” This action comes in the context of the Spanish government’s blanket acquiescence to domestic actors seeking to break the country up (a project justified on the basis of outright historical fabrications), and to foreign actors whose interests clash with Spain’s.
