Agreement in
Catalonia's
Parliament
Strubell receives a delegation from the Gernika Agreement in the
Parliament of Catalonia
This morning several
representatives of the
Catalan political forces met
with a delegation of the
Gernika Agreement for a
scenario of peace and
democratic solutions in
Euskal Herria. From SI,
attended the deputy from
Girona, Toni Strubell, the
representatives of Joves per
la Independència, Eulàlia
Company and Kevin Sànchez and the responsible of international affair from SI, Jordi
Miró and Conxita Bosch.
Strubell considered the meeting as “historical” due to the great meaning that has
gathering eight political and social forces with the goal of solving the political conflict
between Euskal Herria and the Spanish State and has also reminded the joint claims that
do have the Catalan and the Basque folks and their need to have their own state.
Moreover, Strubell spoke about the severe concern of both nations about “the lack of
democratic quality of the Spanish State” by maintaining special courts, applying the
“Parot Doctrine” or honouring and ex-fascist like Manuel Fraga.

Supporting Manifest to the Gernika Agreement
Good morning,
The representatives of the political parties Solidaritat Catalana per la Independència,
Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya, CUP, who today will appear herewith, wish to
express their support to the objectives of the Gernika Agreement.
We also recognise the joint work done between political parties, trade unions and social
organizations of different cultures and traditions, in order to achieve a scenario of peace
and democratic normalization in Euskal Herria.
We support the demands of the Gernika Agreement and claim for a scenario empty of
any violence for the beginning of talks in order to bring the Basque society to peace.
Similarly, we demand to the Spanish Government to stop repression, to change prison's
policy, to end banning political organizations, as well to release anyone imprisoned for
political activities.
All these measures have to facilitate a scenario of multipartite political dialogue. The
talks among all Basque political parties must serve to reach agreements on the
recognition of Euskal Herria as a nation and their right to freely and democratically
decide their political future.
With the conviction that through the path mapped out in Gernika, the Basque society
will come to peace and democratic standards, we, as representatives of the Catalan
people, want to give the Basque society all our strength and encouragement to persevere
in their attempt, despite all the obstacles and difficulties that up today the Spanish State
is still putting.
