Counsel D 'Anjou has appeared before the media after the Summaries, EH Bildu and PP announced that they will submit an amendment to the entire draft budget, although the coalition government will have no problem approving the budgets, since in the Basque Parliament the PNV and the PSE-EE have an absolute majority.
In the Councillor's words, this round of negotiations has been conducted with the aim of reaching "additional agreements" in the belief that "greater support strengthens the project and gives stability to the institutions." He has explained that "they have reached out, offered dialogue and sought meeting points," but has stated that "politics cannot be limited to short-term manoeuvres."
Therefore, although they have not reached an additional agreement, they will continue to do so, maintaining their "commitment to the future of the Basque Country".
Although it has concluded the negotiations, it has specified that the Government is committed to continuing dialogue to "pursue policies that improve life".
