The PP's spokeswoman in the Basque Parliament, Laura Garrido, has considered that the Socialists "are pretending" in the negotiations with the PNV on the armor of the Basque Country in the Public Employment Offers and has criticized their "accomplices" in the language policies launched in the Basque Country, while, on Thursday, the PSE-EE has again called for a halt to the debate on public employment profiles.

Garrido made these statements at a press conference in the Basque Parliament, together with his colleague Santiago López, to explain the PP's amendments to the reform of the Public Employment Act.

In particular, it has tabled 38 amendments to the proposals of the PNV and EH Bildu. Following several rulings that have invalidated the Euskera requirements, both parties are working to give legal certainty to the linguistic profiles. 

The PP spokesman believes that neither the clashes between PNV and PSE nor "corruption cases" will affect the PNV's support for the PSOE in Congress. He has also criticized the "rivalry" between PNV and EH Bildu in language policy.

He blames the PNV for calling for EH Bildu to abstain. Moreover, he considers these policies to be "disproportionate."      

In this context, the Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats has proposed limiting Basque jobs to 50% and adapting their profiles to objective criteria and the reality of each area.

In a hearing, Vivas asked whether the government's passivity seeks to "not disturb" Morocco and announced that it will turn to the judiciary and other levels if the crisis is not resolved within 30 days.
