Pradakes "cautiously" welcomes the news of the peace treaty and declares that the economic consequences are not over
The lehendakari has been optimistic about the agreement, but has warned that the economic consequences of the conflict persist because "every day of the conflict directly affects the economy of the Basque Country and the pockets of the citizens".
PresidentImanol Pradales welcomed the agreement reached this Sunday between the United States and Iran to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. After US President Donald Trump announced that the agreement is "completely closed," Pradales has called for "caution"through social media, considering that the international context remains very turbulent.
Pradales wanted to recall the position of his cabinet since the beginning of the conflict: "We confirm what he said two months ago, because every day of the conflict affects our economy and the pockets of our citizens," he said.
In this regard, he said that "unfortunately, the consequences are not over" and highlighted the inflation and energy costs suffered by industry and the Basque people during the months of the maritime blockade.
