Pradales and Otxandiano have told each other that they have "far-right" speeches for mixing migration and security
The lehendakari has defended reporting the origin of the detainees and, in response to a question from Vox, has stated that the UPV "is not adrift."
The lehendakari, Imanol Pradales, and the spokesman for EH Bildu in the Basque Parliament, Pello Otxandiano, have engaged in a fierce confrontation during the monitoring session held in Vitoria-Gasteiz, accusing each other of using the arguments of the extreme right in the debate on migration and security.
Pradales and Otxandiano accuse each other of "confusing" migration and security for political purposes . The Department of Safety and Security has decided to include in the information disseminated by the Ertzaintza the origin of the detainees.
The spokeswoman for EH Bildu has warned of the dangers of this strategy, considering that it can fuel the discourse of the extreme right and generate polarization, and has urged the lehendakari to resume the migration agreement reached in the previous legislature, stressing that the PSE-EE, a partner of the PNV, is opposed to this decision.
Pradales, on the other hand, has defended the measure as a "wise" decision based on "strong arguments" and has said that it has not had any negative consequences, while accusing Otxandiano of being the one who has really confused migration and security and of using "populist" discourse.
The lehendakari has insisted that the Basque Government will not avoid "uncomfortable" debates and has argued that Basque society must have "objective and truthful information" to form its opinion. In this regard, it has argued that "populism and prejudice fight with more information and transparency" and has accused EH Bildu of "confusing" and polarizing political debate.
UPV's "drift"
At the same plenary session, and in response to a question from Vox, Pradales denied that after the election of Joxerramon Bengoetxea as rector there was a "drift" at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU).
The President has argued that changes in the acronym or statutes of the University are internal decisions exclusive to the institution itself, and has ruled out that they can be interpreted as a process of radicalization.
