El Pais: An association chaired by a PP cadre demands "filling the streets with resisting patriots""it will be necessary to fill the streets of Spain with resisting compatriots and that they do not resign themselves (...) There's no turning back. Tomorrow will be late". In an almost warlike tone and referring constantly to the reform of the Catalan Statute, Santiago Abascal, chairman of the Nuevas Generaciones (New Generations) of the PP in the Basque Country, presented yesterday the Foundation for the Defence of the Spanish Nation, not yet registered aas such, which he himself heads. The Ministry of Culture has rejected their application to be constituted as a Foundation on the grounds that its objectives coincide with those of the Ministry of Defence. For the moment, they are registered as an association.

The Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) is more of a Christian-Democrat party than the PP is, but the PP successfully lobbied the rest of the EPP to keep the PNV out.
Here they are at it again, putting their foot in their mouth at the behest of the PP. guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper
