Sortu's National Council will propose Xabier Iraola (Donostia-San Sebastián, 1993) on Wednesday to replace Arkaitz Rodriguez as General Secretary of the party, after he leaves the party and takes office as Secretary of Political Action of EH Bildu.
The vote will take place from 21 to 23 January, and the next day, 24 January, the Fourth Congress of Sortu in Ficoba (Irun) will be concluded, as reported by the party in a statement, which specifies that the full group of 15 persons to be presented to the leadership by the National Council will be announced today.
Iraola Ernai was one of the founders of the youth organization and a member of its leadership, as detailed in the statement.
After graduating from primary school, Iraola was born to Igeldo's Local Minor Organization and "started her militant career from a very young age," according to the statement.
Igeldo has been secretary of Sortu's Herrigintza since 2021, when he took over from Pello Otxandiano.
Sortu has stressed that Iraola reached adulthood "at the beginning of a stage without the armed struggle of ETA" and that "it is part of a generation that has grown and educated in the new cycle of Euskal Herria".
"From the youth organization to Sortu, his militant career has been based on the political trajectory and tradition of the abertzale left. He has contributed to making left-wing independence a solid, attractive and transformative political project for this country," he concluded.
In June Sortu decided to bring forward by one year the Fourth Congress, scheduled for January 2027, and in September the militants approved the regulations, the timetable, and the Committee on Guarantees.
On 22 October the National Council of Sortu presented the People 's Spirit Basic Paper, which was supported by the militancy at the end of December.
The election of the Directorate and other bodies shall take place in the second phase of the Assembly and shall conclude with the Fourth Congress to be held by Sortu in Ficoba, Irun, on 24 January.
