AITOR ESTEBAN, EBB-KO PRESIDENTEA
The Basque Country wants more self-government. If the people protect us, we will lead to full self-government. "
In this regard, the president has highlighted the "legacy of the tradition" of jeltzales, the fruit of "decades of commitment and bold decisions, "and ultimately the construction of a" reliable country. "
Inthis time of "extreme bipolar times" , Aitor Esteban has defended the centrality of the PNV , which is neither left nor right.
"We can't be more centrist. In balance, in wisdom. That's our way of doing politics, that's our commitment, and it will remain so," Esteban explained. EBB's president says that's the right way to do politics, so the PNV will continue to work along that path .
AITOR ESTEBAN, EBB-KO PRESIDENTEA
We can't be more focused. We can't be more focused.
With regard to the future, Esteban has paid particular attention to the forthcoming electionsto the Spanish Congressof Deputies. In this regard, the PNV leader has referred tothe possibility of forming a joint list with EH Bildu, making it clear that the parties are "radically different" .
"A joint list for what? What do we agree on if Otegi has just said that the country's policies should be turned 180 degrees? Our country will be the same, but our ideas will not," Esteban said.
Finally, he has made special mention of the "alarming" situation in the world, where "wars and dehumanization" prevail. In response, the President of the PNV has expressed his full solidarity with Palestineand strongly criticized the actions of the Israeli Government.
Strengthen self-preservation
The lehendakari, Imanol Pradales, has also spoken in Foronda to stress the need to "strengthen self-government." The lehendakari has stressed how difficult the powers agreed from Madrid are to be transferred to the Basque Country, despite the progress made in recent months.
Pradales has said that his government "will continue to fight for all transfers ", precisely because "since 1979 they have belonged to the Basque Country, legally and by referendum", although he has said that in the State there are "dangerous" speeches about self-government, identity and Basque institutions.
The lehendakari reiterates that the Basque Country is working "not only to protect the home from the storm, but also to prepare for the future". With this message, he reiterates that the Basque Governmentwill continue to shieldits self-government.
