The Basque Government is "very concerned" about the "setbacks" in the transfer dispute
The spokesman for the Basque Government and Self-Government Adviser has warned that they would rather not transfer than have a 'bad transfer'. Ubarretxena has a meeting with Minister Elma Saiz this afternoon and hopes that the situation will recover.
"Concerned, very concerned, "Basque Government spokeswoman Maria Ubarretxena said today about the "setbacks "in the" last few days "on the issue of transfers.
Ubarretxena made these statements at the press conference following the government meeting, when asked about the meeting of the Joint Transfer Commission to be held on the 29th.
"In the last few days, far from making progress, we have taken steps backwards," he said, pointing out that the "difficulties" have been reflected in the five competences that must be transferred on the 29th, namely the Barakaldo machinery verification centre, school insurance, non-contributory social security benefits and unemployment benefits.
They warn that the Basque Government will not accept 'a step backwards' in the agreement reached with the Spanish Government. 'We prefer not to transfer competences rather than a bad transfer', he adds.
Ubarretxena suggests that the matter comes from the secretaries of state. "The secretaries of state rule more than the ministers, and refuse to accept the agreements we have signed between the two governments."
In that context, he explained that he has a meeting this afternoon with Minister Elma Saiz, and that he hopes to get the situation back on track.
