A chairde,

Sortu wants to congratulate Sinn Féin, its candidates and activists for the outstanding results on the Elections for the Dáil Éireann. Basque pro-independence Left has stood side by side with Sinn Féin for a long time and we are delighted by this massive stride forward for Sinn Féin.

Sinn Féin has fought this election with a plan for a fair recovery, and has received an increased mandates to fairness, growth, jobs and investment in public services.

There is still a long way to go, but the loss of support of the parties pushing austerity is a proof of the ongoing fundamental realignment of Irish politics. On this one hundredth anniversary of the Easter rising, Irish citizens have taken a new step towards the Republic dreamed by those who stood for their rights in 1916.
