Pello Urizar

[6] Urizar's proposal for collaboration among Basque nationalist forces was ratified at the EA Political Conference in San Sebastián on November 21, 2009.

[7] In October 2012, Urizar, standing for the EH Bildu party, was elected to represent Guipúzcoa in the Basque Parliament.

Alonso accusing Urizar of being two-faced, the complaint being that during his time as Secretary General of EA he had threatened a local party operative with disciplinary sanctions for failing to comply with his directives, even though Urizar, during his own time as a civic official, had rebelled against party higher-ups.

[8] In a speech delivered at a February 2017 plenary in Vitoria, Urizar called for unilateral action to bring about Basque independence, saying that the Spanish government had suppressed the rights of the people and that leaders of the Catalan independence movement were already symbols of freedom and would shortly become martyrs.

[9] At the June 3–4, 2017, EA convention, held in San Sebastián, he was re-elected Secretary General, defeating opponent Maiorga Ramírez by a margin of 14 votes.
