Podemos Euskadi has reachedan agreement with the PNV and the PSE-EE to introduce the tax on tourist stays in the Basque Country. The details of the agreement will be presented tomorrow at a press conference in San Sebastián by the general coordinator of Podemos Euskadi, Richar Vaquero, the spokeswoman at the General Meetings of Gipuzkoa, Mira Echeveste, and the spokesperson of San Sebastián.

The Purple Party tabled seven amendments to the draft Foral Rule, which is in the process of being processed at the three General Assemblies, to establish a "more ambitious" tourist rate, including more progressive  tariffs and flexibility for municipalities to apply surcharges and exemptions.

Subsequently, negotiations were opened with representatives of the three foreign governments, which, as reported today, have managed to conclude an agreement.

At the General Meetings of Álava and Gipuzkoa, the PNV-PSE-EE coalition has no majorityand inevitably needs the support of some opposition group to push through this rule.
