Feijóo meets with Aitor Esteban: "I like the Gernika Statute as it is"
The President of the PP has stated that he is concerned about the reform that is supposed to be "signed by Bildu." PNV sources, for their part, have confirmed to EITB the meeting of the two leaders. They have indicated that they usually hold meetings "with all democratic parties" and have not given details of its content.
PP President Alberto Núñez Feijóo has said he has had a "long, honest and respectful" conversation with PNV leader Aitor Esteban and has stressed that he likes the Gernika Statute "as it is" and has expressed concern about the reform that Bildu is supposed to sign.
Esteban Feijóo attended a colloquium this Wednesday at the Tribuna Euskadi of the Forum Europe, where sources from the PNV confirmed to EITB that the two leaders had a meeting. They indicated that they usually held meetings "with all democratic parties" and did not specify their content.
Asked about the PNV's negotiations with the PSE-EE and EH Bildu on the reform of the Basque Statute, and whether his party will support it in Congress, Feijóo has said he is in favour of "not obeying the fashion of statutory reforms."
The current texts are the result, he said, of a "great consensus" that has facilitated "autonomy and prosperity" .
The president of the PP has warned that if a possible reform of the Statutes "had Bildu's signature," it would mean "social fracture." "We'll see what happens," he said.
Feijóo has acknowledged that he "finds it hard to understand" and that he is "surprised" that the PNV has become "a constant partner of sanchism" because there are things between the two sides that "are not compatible and have little consistency."
Finally, he stressed that he has "loyalty" and "sincere respect" for the party led by Esteban.
