Ekain Rico (PSE): "The PNV has created smoke screens: one with the new Statute and one with photomontage"
The socialist leader has spoken of "hyperventilation" or "over-performance" in criticizing the jeltzale attitude.
Ekain Rico, General Secretary of the Parliamentary Group of the Basque Socialists, has been interviewed on the Boulevard programme of Radio Euskadi and maintains a critical tone towards the PNV. The Socialist leader believes that there has been "enough hyperventilation" within the PNV, referring to the controversy that arose since his party published the photomontage in which Aitor Esteban appeared jumping into a pool.
In this way, Ekain Rico blames jeltzales for wanting to create "different screens to cover the smoke." "One of them was to mentionthe issue of the new Statute, on which there is an agreement of silence and discretion. Another smoke screen was the hyperventilation around the tweet itself. We will always make very clear our position on the different issues, "he said.
On the position of the PNV.
The Secretary-General of the Parliamentary Group of the Basque Socialists has once again played down the photomontage created by his party. 'The important thing is not the tweet, but what it showed: that the PNV has broken the consensus onthe Basque Country. This is of great concern to us, not only in the PSE, but we are the speaker of the vast majority of the Basque Country in this matter ', he explained.
Considering that the photomontage was in response to the negotiation of the new Statute, Rico has also been asked about this issue: "There is a discretion agreement to avoid frustration, which we consider important and which needs to be left out of other matters. We are being very consistent with that discretion. Others are not. "
Finally, asked about the health of the coalition between PNV and PSE , Rico has made a positive assessment: "From the various governments we govern we are doing very interesting things for the citizens to solve the problems that really concern them."
