Santiago de Compostela, 25 Oct. - Movemento Arredista, an independentist organization integrated in the BNG, has released a statement in which it defends the position of "not supporting" Pedro Sánchez's investiture due to the "failures" of the PSOE regarding the majority of the previous legislature's agreement.

"For dignity and coherence, we believe that we cannot support a new PSOE government," states the statement, which would leave the door open to the abstention of Galician nationalists in the investiture debate of Sánchez, a stance that has also been suggested by the party leadership, warning that the Bloque will not give a "blank check."

The Arredistas explain that the PSOE "failed to fulfill most of the investiture agreement signed in 2020 with the BNG." "This should lead us to draw conclusions and not expect different results if we choose to act in the same way now," they say.

In addition, they point out that this government "disappointed a good part of the expectations generated and failed to fulfill its promises regarding the recovery of rights that were cut in previous legislatures." They cite examples such as the so-called Gag Law and labor reform (which was not completely repealed, but was modified).

The independentist organization understands that "not only were they not fulfilled, but there were setbacks" and they note that the "minimum requirement," for a matter of "dignity," would be to fulfill what has already been agreed upon. "However, this goes much further than what the PSOE is willing to accept," they warn.

In the same statement, the Movemento Arredista, of which regional deputy Noa Presas is a member, also argues that institutional action "must be consistent with the electoral program" and with the characterization they make of the PSOE and what is defended on the streets.

"It is necessary to use state institutions as a loudspeaker for popular demands, as a space to denounce the regime, and as a lever for advancement towards our sovereign and transformative project," they add, to indicate, immediately after, that "that is why we believe that, for dignity, for coherence, and to be able to develop a position in line with the demands and expectations of our people (while "avoiding leaving that field open to the right and the far right"), the BNG should not be part of the supporting base of this government."
