Esteban lashes out at opposition groups and supports the PNV project and its way of doing so
The Malecón de Zarautz hosted the opening ceremonyof the political course, which was attended by lehendakari Imanol Pradales, members of the PNV EBB and the party, as well as dozens of citizens who wanted to follow the event in situ.
Aitor Esteban has for the first time started a political course presentation event that Andoni Ortuzar has been doing for 12 years, and the president of the EBB wanted to set the course for the coming months.
Among its challenges are projects such as TALGO, solving the housing crisis, complying with and respecting self-government, supporting the Euskera, strengthening relations with Navarre and increasing the presence of patriots in Iparralde.
After mentioning the main axes, he has had comments and criticismsfor the main opposition parties, some of them frequent, others not so much heard, such as those he has addressed to the PSOE, which has accused Sanchez's party of being "stuck to power", whether or not it is a draft budget.
He also sends a warning in the context of the debate on the powers arising from the fires. He recalls that Minister Margarita Robles has accused the PP communities of failing to comply with their powers. Esteban believes that this argument cannot be used to centralise competences: 'Beware of centralising the competences of the ACV or Navarre under this pretext.
The criticism of the PP is not new and even today Esteban has acted tirelessly against them. He took advantage of the event this week to respond to the comments of PP General Secretary Miguel Tellado against jeltzales. Tellado stated that the PNV acted "falsely" because it absorbed the votes of right-wing citizens and then supported "radical" left-wing governments.
In response, Esteban has said that the PP is a "swamp." "It's just mud, mud and mud. It's a swamp full of insults and lies. They're completely muddy. They're unable to come to power.
He has also had comments on EH Bildu, who has been accused of being a party "hungry to come to power" and "looking for an image rather than a program." He has also accused him of acting differently in Spain and the Basque Country, and of wanting to perpetuate the Spanish Government at all costs, because "if that ends, their protagonism also ends."
EH Bildu's is "the epic of the story" and the PNV's "the ethics of the project." "There is the difference" with its abandonment, "while some perform symbolic acts, we raise the Basque Country by launching real projects."
