The House of Representatives yesterday approved a motion by Nafarroa Bai urging the central government to not give a partial view military conquest of Navarre. Specifically, the initiative put forward by Uxue Barkos Zapatero asks the Executive to facilitate, through its representative on the organizing committee of 2012, and following the recommendations of the Parliament of Navarre, "the meeting between the various existing historiographical trends" and that first "academic and scientific aspects" in events commemorating the fifth anniversary of the military conquest of Navarre.
The motion debated is the result of urgent interpellation Barker on Wednesday the Minister of Culture, Ángeles González-Sinde, and in which it undertook to ensure that the acts would watch because of this anniversary to be "integrated" all opinions.
The motion Barker included two items that were also approved, after they agreed paths NaBai and PSOE amendments transactions. Thus, where the coalition called "demand" the Government of Navarra compliance with its commitments to the European Charter for minority languages, the socialist group corrected the text which was finally left to call upon the Provincial Executive to "ensure" in within their compencias, compliance.
Similarly, the third point, called for the Ministry of Culture to conduct a catalog of the route of castles and fortresses destroyed in the race for his recovery schedule. This section, remove the PSOE wanted the motion, was approved by agreeing a text which claims that the central government to work, "according to the available budget and in accordance with the regulations in force in the recovery of the castles and fortresses destroyed during the war.
The motion received 333 votes in favor and only three against, the representatives of UPN and UPyD and a deputy who vote wrong.
Depoliticise During the debate in the House, Barker moved his desire to "avoid" the politicization of the centenarians and the Ministry of Culture claimed that their presence in preparations acts be "more ambitious" than the minister said last week. The
NaBai representative welcomed the outcome of the motion, because "the contents proposed by the Government of Navarra in the organizing committee of these events are not characterized by the balance of academics and scientists." In this regard, Barker noted that "the organizing committee, which involved the central government through the Ministry of Culture, discusses the incorporation of Navarre to the Crown of Castile, a polite euphemism but little consistent with the requirement of seriousness a topic of this nature requires. "
"It's not fair to say that the difference between incorporation and conquest is a slight difference," said Barker, in a clear criticism of his response last week in this regard González-Sinde.
debate also addressed the María José Fernández (PSOE-PSN), who appreciated the tone of Barker and recalled that "the history of nations is full of violence and that of Spain is no exception." Also argued that the acts to be scheduled, "it is to update the research and everyone knows more." "History can like it or not, but we can not forget," said Fernandez.
For his part, Santiago Cervera (PP) asked not to make a "political upstart" of history and criticized, in his view, "clumsy actions of the Government of Navarre" in this case, which has been "open political debate."
