Sortu, the party of the pro-indepence left in the Basque Country, welcomes the first Conference of RISE, the new Alliance of the Scottish Left, which took place last Saturday in Glasgow.

Sortu's objective is the stablishment of an independent, socialist, feminist, Basque-speaking Basque Country, established also on the values of internationalism, environmentalism, laicity, anti-militarism and diversity, therefore we can only salute and welcome the creation of a Left Alliance which stands for Respect, Independence, Socialism and Environmentalism for Scotland.

Solidarity is the tenderness of the people, and we want to show our solidarity and support for RISE, we want to show our support for all those that campaign and struggle for a better world.
