Thelehendakari and president of the eAtlantic Foundation, Iñigo Urkullu , has said that the situation of Pedro Sánchez's government is "unsustainable" and has warned that "governing is not just a matter of arithmetic, but of principles."

Urkullu delivered a speech on Monday at the informative breakfast 'Forum Europa. Tribuna Euskadi', which was also attended by the head of the Basque Government, Imanol Pradales.

In addition, it has warned of the "difficulties" of the coalition government in implementing the same programme and has asked whether it can provide stability to the government by transferring "credibility" to the eta.

More self-government

In Question Time, Urkullu has analysed the current Basque political situation and, unlike 'other environments', has valued the 'political and institutional stability' here.

In this context, it has downplayed the 'discrepancies' between the PNV and the PSE, which are able to agree on 'stability'.



On the other hand, it has argued that "more and more self-government is necessary", adapted to "current reality" , and to deal with the "silent wear and tear" caused by non-compliance with the Statute or appeals to the Constitutional Court.

However, it has framed it "within the framework of the Constitution "and recalled some proposals made in the past, such as that of the" foral nation "or the development of a" constitutional convention "to agree on a new interpretation of the Constitution.
