The lehendakari, Imanol Pradales, has claimed the role of the Basque Country in Madrid as a "stability factor" in both the state and Europe. In his first speech as President at the New Economy Forum, Pradales said that "stability does not mean paralysis, but the basis for facing global challenges" and called for strengthening the "spirit of the pact" in the face of political tension.

In his speech, he warned ofthe progress of a "reentralizing pulsion" around Madrid, which he believes is creating territorial imbalances, and called for a "new state approach"that recognizes diversity and respects the national and cultural aspirations of the territories.

Pradales has insisted on the need to transfer the outstanding competences in the Gernika Statute before 31 December 2025, as the Spanish President, Pedro Sánchez, promised. "There are no excusesand we will not accept empty competences, "he warned.

In the economic field, the lehendakari has highlighted the "Economic, Social and Political Future of the Basque Country", based on the new Industrial and Investment Transformers Plan 2030, which has a public-private investment of 15.9 billion euros , as well as the agreement reached with the Spanish Government toincrease the electric poweravailable to the Basque industry  to 5,200 megawatts.

Pradales has defended a "more united, autonomous, and capable of preventing the crisis," and warned of the rise of "extreme authoritarian currents that erode democratic values."

To conclude, the lehendakari has valued the historical responsibility and legacy of the Economic Concert, recalling the words of José Antonio Aguirre: "For our country, what counts is perseverance, daily enthusiasm and eternal faith."
