Terry Eagleton Espainiako gobernuaren errepresioaren aurka

Atalak: Faxismoa, Trantsizioaren Kultura

78ko erregimen espainiarraren intelektual eta orojakileek manifestuak argitara ematen dituzten bitartean, Espainiako gobernuaren aurkako eta Kataluniako erreferendumaren aldeko gutun bat sinatu dute Irlandako eta Erresuma Batuko hainbeste langile akademikok. Sinatzaileen artean Terry Eagleton aurkitzen dugu. Duela ordu gutxi ateratako hausnarpen sakon eta zuzen hauxe euskarara ekarri dut. Hitzez hitz, hemen duzu, irakurle, nola aztertu eta salatu duten Espainiako estatuaren errepresioa.

EUSKARAZ

Erresuma Batuan eta Irlandan zuzenbidean, giza eskubideetan, politikan, soziologian, historian eta antzeko gaietan lan egiten duten akademikoak izanik, Kataluniako gobernuak bete gura duen independentziari buruzko erreferenduma galarazteko Espainiako gobernuak eta polizia nazionalak zuzendutako errepresio politikoa ohartarazi nahian idazten ari gara.

Katalunian eta Espainian konstituzio-arloko legelarien eskaeren alde agertzen gara, han erreferenduma eteteko ekintza oro geldiaraz dadin. Espainiako konstituzioaren 155. artikuluak dio gobernuak soilik komunitate autonomo bat (estatu edo eskualdeko gobernua) behartu ahal duela akzio legalak betetzera aurrez Espainiako senatuaren gehiengoaren adostasunaren bidez. Ez da halako bozketarik suertatu.

Gure kezkatik, Katalunian errepresio politikoaren maila hain da gogor eta bidegabea, ezen ez baita halakorik jasan Francoren diktaduratik. Espainiak berehalaxe Katalunian errepresio politikoa geldiarazi dezala eskatzen dugu, eta Kataluniako herriari aukera eman diezaiola, aske bere aburu politikoak adieraz ditzan.

INGELESEZ

As academics working in the fields of law, human rights, politics, sociology, history and related subjects in the UK and Ireland, we write to draw attention to the political repression that is being conducted by the Spanish government and national police to prevent the Catalan government holding a referendum on independence.

We support the demands by constitutional lawyers in Catalonia and Spain to cease all action disrupting the referendum there. Section 155 of the Spanish constitution states that the government can only compel an autonomous community (state or regional government) to carry out legal actions with the prior consent of a majority of the Spanish senate. No such vote has taken place.

We are concerned that the level of political repression in Catalonia is of a severity and arbitrary character not experienced since the Franco dictatorship. We demand that Spain immediately ceases the political repression in Catalonia and enables the people of Catalonia to be allowed to freely express their political views.
