The Basque Government

The Deputy Minister of Health, Lore Bilbao, has explained in the "Egun On" program of ETB1 that they wanted to send a "clear message" to the families and asked for reports to do so. When they were waiting for them, EH Bildu made the matter public. "If they knew 10 days earlier, why didn't they do anything? In this case we knew, but what would happen if we hadn't known?"

Pello Otxandiano welcomes "everything that increases the ability of the Basques to decide on issues that affect our daily lives and the well-being of our citizens." 

The spokeswoman for the Basque Government, Maria Ubarretxena, has announced that the central and Basque governments will sign on Friday the transfer to the Basque Country of five other competences of the 1979 Gernika Autonomy Statute, including unemployment benefits and non-contributory social security benefits.

Maria Ubarretxena, Counsellor for Governance, Digital Administration and Self-Government and spokesperson for the Basque Government, has recalled that there are still issues to be negotiated, but has stressed that they cannot always be working against the clock. "We ask for seriousness and another way to start negotiations," added Ubarretxena.

The spokeswoman for the Basque Government, Maria Ubarretxena, has confirmed that the meeting will take place tomorrow at 10.30 a.m. in Madrid, after two days of contacts with the Spanish Government.

According to the resolution published in the Official Gazette of the Basque Country, Perfect Business Location will now have three years to apply for final administrative authorization for the construction of the Katarri solar park.

Interviewed today on Radio Euskadi, the former councillor of the Basque Government has said that he hopes that the negotiations on transfers will continue and has assured us that this is not a matter of 'haste', since the Gernika Statute is an 'binding' organic law, which is already 45 years old.

The Medical Union has no intention of fighting this battle with the Ministry of Health and continues to proclaim its own status. No Navarra, the Department of Health reports that unemployment has continued at 2.83%. Ouskadi indicates that the follow-up has been 19.23% in the morning shift and 8.26% in the afternoon shift.

The meeting with the Spanish Government is scheduled for Friday. The Lehendakari and Counsellor will first assess compliance with the "necessary guarantees" for the signing of the transfer. As EITB has been aware, there are "constant contacts to reach an agreement" and "progress" has been made.

The Socialist Councillor has not hesitated. The day after tomorrow the Joint Transfer Commission will meet after the agreement has been concluded in the next few hours.

The PNV president, Aitor Esteban, has warned that if Pedro Sánchez's government fails to comply with the agreement on  transfers, the PNV will change its position.  "Before, we could have discussed more and we could have been more flexible , but perhaps now it will be different," he said.

The Housing Counsellor has announced that pilot projects will be launched this year to implement the Emergency Measures Act, which provides for the mobilization of 1,000 protected official housing units, 525 of them in Portugalete.

That is why the spokeswoman and adviser for Governance, Digital Administration and Self-Government, Maria Ubarretxena, has asked the Spanish Government to be serious and to respect the institutional agreements signed in July between the two governments, and has indicated that the Basque Government is prepared to work 'until the last moment' and to put in place the 'hours necessary' to reach an agreement.

In addition to the five powers that should be exercised in the course of these weeks, the CSC has 15 other transfers recognised by the Statute of Autonomy. In order not to get lost in the confusion of competences, this is the updated list of outstanding transfers. 

The agreement encourages cooperation in key sectors such as renewable energy, medical devices and gastronomy. President Imanol Pradales has stressed that both sides share "the ambition and potential to be an international benchmark in clean technologies."

"We will try to be optimistic, but we will not stand idly by," insisted Esteban, who stressed that if the transfers are not closed on Friday, the PNV's position on the Spanish Government "will not be the same." "The Spanish Government will immediately realize this," said the leader jeltzale.

They have a wide Biriatu border for all vehicles, after Iparralde farmers stopped blocking the A-63. 

Congressman Lander Martinez has valued "all the work" done between the two governments, which the PNV hopes to recognize. "I don't think the situation is serious enough to jeopardize a progressive coalition government, knowing what will come next," he said.
