Ubarretxena explained in an interview with Euskadi Irratia that the Government will approve the draft budget for next year at today's Governing Council and that the Finance and Finance Adviser will give its details at a press conference from 12:00.
It has advanced that housing will receive "special attention" as well as "other issues of public interest" such as security or "continuing to improve and stabilize public services", so there will be "significant investments" in the Department of Health and Education.
He has also reiterated that the Basque Government "strongly rejects" EH Bildu's proposal to negotiate the budgets of all the Basque public institutions "because we value the institutional architecture of the Basque Country and the competences, sovereignty, identity and independence of each territory".
In any case, the spokesman for the Basque Government has pointed out that in budgetary matters there is 'the possibility of rapprochement' with EH Bildu, PP and Suma and has recalled that last year 'an honest effort was made' which was not possible, although 'we changed budgets and added many proposals from the opposition'.
