PNV and EH Bildu have asked Sanchez for more firmness against corruption and compliance with pacts

The two Basque parties met this Wednesday in La Moncloa with the President of the Spanish Government on the occasion of the crisis opened by the Cerdán case. Both have asked Sanchez for democratic regeneration and responsibility, but with different nuances in tone and demands.

Mertxe Aizpurua EH Bildu Pedro Sanchez

PNV and EH Bildu have expressed on Wednesday to the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, their concern about the situation of the PSOE following the involvement of some of its former senior officials in the plot of alleged illegal commissions in the 'Koldo case' and have agreed to call for courageous anti-corruption measures, as well as compliance with investiture pacts.

Since the PNV, its congressional spokeswoman, Maribel Cowboy, has demanded "transparency and honesty" from Sanchez and recalled that the president committed himself at the time to pushing reforms to act against corrupt companies. However, she has marked distances from the political context: she has said that her party will not "trade" or take advantage of the internal crisis of the PSOE and will act with "prudence" as long as doubts about Santos Cerdán are cleared.

EH Bildu, for his part, has raised the tone after meeting with Sanchez. His spokesman, Mertxe Aizpurua, and Senator Gorka Elejabarrieta, have called for "courageous and comprehensive" decisions that will serve to open a stage of democratic regeneration. In this regard, they have proposed, together with the other members of the investiture, the creation of a new "plurinational and social" political programme.

Both parties have agreed that the crisis caused by the Cerdán case must be addressed with political responsibility, but also as an opportunity to strengthen the democratic framework of the State.
