ThePresident of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez , has stated on Wednesday that one of the main security problems is that of criminals who commit repeated crimes and has ordered the processing of the proposed law submitted by Junts in order to tighten the penalties for repeat offenders.

This is how the PNV spokesman, MAribel Cowboy , answers the question on security. The MP jeltzale asks the president for measures and legislative initiatives. In this regard, he recalls that there are two bills on the subject on the table (one of them submitted by Junts) pending processing. 

Cowboy has warned that the repeated sight of those who commit crimes in the streets creates a sense of "impunity," so he has stressed the need for "tools and means" to judge theft in time and form to avoid scaremongering and fake news. 

Sanchez, for his part, has replied that from 2018 to 2025 the Spanish Government has increased its investment in security by 30% (1.6 billion euros more) and has even stressed that today there are 257,000 police officers, the largest in its history.

He has also pointed out that there are almost twice as many prosecutors and judges as in Rajoy's time.

The PSE-EE has joined EH Bildu and Suma in calling for "institutional consensus" for the Arana Harer Center

The three left-wing parties will take advantage of their majority in the Chamber of Vitoria-Gasteiz to push through the agreed text on the reception centre, in which they will ask the Spanish Government to initiate a "constructive dialogue" on the subject. In a short time, it will be the second time that PNV and PSE-EE have disagreed: at the beginning of October, the Socialists did not support the PNV proposal to shield the Basque Country.

D'Anjou has asked EH Bildu to "tone down a little" so that there is a "climate of confidence" in the budget negotiation

The Director of Finance and Finance, Noël D'Anjou, has stated on Radio Euskadi that the will of the Basque Government is "to listen and try to reach agreements." "For that we have the hand stretched out and we demand that the position of the other side be in that sense," he said. "The greater the support of the budgets, beyond the two parties that support this government, the better we are doing the country by receiving these sensitivities."
