The PNV applauds that the 2026 Basque budget projecthas grown "significantly" items for housing, safety and health, while EH Bildu criticizes the "lack of willingness to agree" in the negotiation. The PSE-EE argues that health and education, "the two pillars that society develops," are "well satisfied," and the PP denounces a 40% increase in taxes since the pandemic.

In the 'Parliament in the Waves' programme of Radio Euskadi, parliamentarians from the parties represented in the Basque Parliament have discussed the 2026 draft budget of the ACV.


   
Jonathan Moreno, a PNVmember of parliament, has stressed that "political stability and budget stability are very important for advancing the needs of citizens" and that it is precisely these needs of citizens that mark the three "priorities" of budgets: housing , security and health.

"The budget has grown significantly in all three areas," he reiterated, before adding that he now hopes to "receive input from all groups."

For her part, EH BilduMP Eraitz Saez de Egilaz has criticized the "lack of willingness to agree" despite the fact that Counsellor D'Anjöu and the President "wanted to represent the opposite" because "there has been no real dialogue" at the two previous meetings.

In terms of content, the Member of Parliament believes that the budgets' have not increased 'because' if we see an increase in the CPI, growth is small '.



With regard to housing investment, he stressed that the Housing Director Plan "advises investing 1.5% of GDP in housing", which should lead to an increase of "one billion". So the proposed $20 million increase "does not come at all," and has expressed concern that this increase will end up "in the hands of real estate speculators."

The PSE-EE parliamentarian, Mr Canto, has said that the increase in health and education, which totals "more than EUR 5 billion in total," leaves "two fundamental pillars."

As far as housing is concerned, Councilor Denis Itxaso has explained that he is "very concerned" and is working "hard".

PPCongresswoman Laura Garrido has criticized that this is "the same budgetary model as in recent years," which will lead to "the same results."

The Member of Parliament believes that the increase in expenditure is' at the expense of the middle class', since since 2020 taxes have been increased by '40%', which 'goes against job creation, the promotion of our economy and, above all, the easing of the burden on families at the moment'.


   
Vox MP Amaia Martinez has pointed out that revenue is the result of an "additional debt of almost EUR 1 billion," which means that "with the current revenue available to the government, it does not come to meet these expected expenditures."
