UPN calls for the repeal of the Fourth Provision of the Constitution "at a time when independence is growing"

The Fourth Transitional Provision of the Constitution opens the door to the possible union of Navarre and the Basque Country, if democratically so decided.

On Tuesday, UPN presented to the Congress of Deputies an initiative to repeal the Fourth Transitional Provision of the Spanish Constitution, which opens the door to the possibility of uniting Navarre and the Basque Autonomous Community.  The regionalist party has taken the step by taking advantage of the reform that the island of Formentera will extend to obtain a seat in the Senate. 

At a hearing in Pamplona/Iruña, the President of UPN, Cristina Ibarrola, has stated that this provision constitutes a "threat" to Navarre, a mechanism that, in her words, was introduced into the Constitution to "please the abertzales." "A large majority of Navarros want Navarre to be a separate community within the Spanish nation and nothing else."
