Casares has asked all parties to work so that “politics is once again a space in which to share more and divide less, to build and unite more and to destroy less” because, at the moment, “coexistence and the fundamental values that make us all free and equal are at risk”.
“I call on all political parties to return to common sense, to seek more what unites us than what differentiates us and to work always more for the general interest than for partisan interests,” said the representative of the State in the community.
This has been pointed out this Friday in statements to the media after reporting the arrest of two young people around 20 years of age for the attack with a home explosive on the headquarters of the PSOE of Cantabria on April 25.
The two youths were arrested by the National Police on Thursday, one in the Galician province of Ourense and the other in Cantabria, and this afternoon they went to court.
The holder of Examining Court No. 3 of Santander has declared the proceedings secret so that the ongoing investigation is not compromised, the government delegate has detailed that, therefore, he has not been able to provide more data on the investigation.
He has emphasized that “attacking the headquarters of a political party is a very serious event” and, when a public event is being held, as was the case, with a democratic memory, “it is even more serious”. “These are facts that may constitute several crimes,” he said.
In his appearance before the media, the government delegate referred to the communiqué and the subsequent statements of the mayor of Santa Cruz de Bezana, Carmen Pérez, in which he acknowledged that one of the two detainees is his son.
Casares has shown his “solidarity” with the mayor as the mother of the alleged perpetrator of the attack in the headquarters of his party last April, as with the rest of the family, and has said that “it is not good for anyone that two 20-year-olds have that hatred that leads them to do something like this”.
“It is not good for anyone because we are turning politics into a trench when it should be a space for coexistence between ideas other than adversaries, but never, in any case, enemies,” he added.
Casares considered that “extremists can no longer be allowed to impose hatred, intolerance, lies and violence” and called on “democrats to defend dialogue, agreement, coexistence and understanding.”
