President Imanol Pradales has called on his government "not to be complacent," after the first year of management, "so that we can improve every day."

At the headquarters of the Presidency, an event was held this afternoon, after the end of the first year of office, in which the President wished to thank the Councillors, first of all, "for the great work they have done in these twelve months, in which 54% of the government programme has been launched."

It has also appreciated the 'constructive debate' of the Basque Parliament and other social partners and has called for 'insult and disqualification' to be set aside.

"We are a government of action in a situation of uncertainty, a government that faces problems, risks and offers new answers," he added.

The lehendakari has lamented the "turbulent political climate" that "unfortunately" is being seen elsewhere and has hoped that "it will never reach the Basque Country."

"It is true that in the Basque Country there are populist and demagogic tics that we must avoid at all costs, "he said.

In this way, Pradales appreciates the respect he is having in the Basque public debate in general. Numerous councillors and public officials have supported the lehendakari during his appearance.

It has highlighted the 'constructive debate' that is taking place between various actors and opposition groups on issues such as industry, health, the right to decide, the situation of the Ertzaintza or the education system, among other things, because it is the duty of the Basque Government to listen to different opinions, which 'helps to improve'.

As an example of this "willingness" to dialogue and to the agreement of the Government he chairs, Pradales has expressly mentioned the work being carried out by the Bureau for the Health Pact. "It is much more that unites us than it separates us at the moment to reach an agreement," he stressed.

Migration

"We must ensure orderly and safe legal migration based on the principles of defence, cohesion and integration of human rights, as Parliament has promised us," he said.

Pradales added that "social cohesion cannot be understood without strengthening the values, culture, identity and community feeling of this country."
