Chivite says there's no sign of corruption in the government

The President of the Government of Navarre, Maria Chivite, said on Thursday in the Debate onthe State of the Foral Community that her Government is "honest" and that "there is no sign of corruption"in it." To suggest otherwise is to deliberately lie, "she said, and strongly warned:" They will not bring me down. " 

The President, who has spent nearly an hour and a half in the plenary of Parliament, has said, among other things, that  "It is as anti-system to cross containers as to spread lies that weaken institutions and democracy." "Don't be surprised that when the extreme right passes over you, you are doing the dirty work for them," he has told those who suggest that there is corruption in the government.

The President has pointed out that in the last month both the Committee of Inquiry of the Navarre Parliament and that of the Senate is making it clear that "there is no corruption in Navarre. The technicians of the Bureauof Belate who have passed through the Commission have also made it clear. No one has given political instructions. No one has influenced their votes ", he explained. 

In his opinion  "The development of the recruitment table in Belate may have been questioned for other reasons, but at least not because  has made it difficult for members to decide freely." "So there may be a discussion between technicians about improving the practice, we are doing so and we will implement it through the contract law, but there is no corruption whatsoever," he said.

"There are those who delegitimize the word of the President, even without any proof, but they will not be able to question the word of certain public technicians at a table where there are no politicians," he stressed. "Since I have been President I do not know how many times they have tried to tarnish my name and that of the Government, always with lies. But they will not bring me down, they will not succeed," he said, and proclaimed that "honesty cannot be a loser in democracy."

"Shared prosperity"

At another point in her speech, Maria Chivite has pointed out that the Government's challenge is "to continue to promote amodelof shared prosperity, economic growth, social development, territorial backbone and integration of diversity. "" A political model that is a reference for efficiency if we articulate all this complexity from a constructive dialogue. "Navarra has been defined by lehendakari as a"space for coexistence, where a social majority condemns violence, provocations and authoritarianism, as well as any behaviour that disrupts normalcy and disrupts welfare and peace."

As he explained, "in Navarre, the ultraconservative and destabilizing wave that some want to import has not been filtered." A social majority refuses to import the bad because it lives well, wants to improve and not get worse. And what right-wing authoritarianism brings is the destruction of the system and the worse qualityof life. Rights and opportunities for the elite, exclusion and oppression for the majority, "he explained.

Chivite has stated that his government "will continue to defend foral Navarre with facts", "a Navarre that lives well, that we move forward together, institutions, the private sector, civil society and a Navarre in which citizens support each other". 

He asserts that "it is an honour to be president of this self-believing Navarre, a country that looks forward with hope and moves away from toxic political currents, because the vast majority want to live in peace, free and with the best quality of life and public service."
