EH Bildu's spokesman, Pello Otxandiano, during the plenary monograph of the Basque Parliament.

EH Bildu has brought to Parliament on Wednesday a monographic debate on policies to ensure a decent life, focusing on the housing crisis and the increase in life prices. The abertzale coalition called for the debate to take place before the summer with the aim of including the agreed measures in the 2027 Budgets. The quote comes at a time when access to housing has been consolidated as the main concern of the Basque people, according to the latest Sociometer.

EHBildu 's spokesman, Pello Otxandiano, opened the session and began his speech with the following question: "How are we going to guarantee the life security of the Basque people in times of geopolitical, economic, technological and climate uncertainty? Thus, he has put forward various proposals, including modernizing the administration, introducing progressive taxation and" rethinking "housing policies to ensure a dignified life for citizens.

Suhar MP Jon Hernandez has advocated a "substantial" "redistributive" fiscal reform — that is, that those who have the most pay the most — to equate the collection of income from capital and labour with the burden of extraordinary profits.

The president of the Basque PP, Javier de Andrés, has blamed the PNV, the PSE-EE and EH Bildu for the "downfall" of the Basque Country as a result of the "left-wing model" promoted by all these parties. According to De Andrés, the "absurd and excessive regulation" that they have imposed at all levels, among others, has "completely destroyed" the housing market.

Vox MP Amaia Martínez , for her part, has argued that the priority of life security and public resources in the Basque Country is to guarantee them "for those at home." In her view, the "complicity" of PNV and EH Bildu with the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, means "a loss" for the dignified life and pocket of the Basques, who are increasingly poor.
