EAJ-PNV

After Gabriel Rufián has spoken in recent days about the creation of a front to fight the extreme right, this possibility is also being discussed in Basque politics. The PNV has today held an event in Maruri-Jatab to pay tribute to the post-Franco mayors. In it, BBB President Iñigo Ansola has made it clear that they will not participate in any front because, in his opinion, "in the Basque Country there is no need to fight the extreme right."

At an event in Bilbao to discuss housing, the PNV has stressed that the right path is to increase aid and construction and reduce bureaucracy. Its spokesman, Joseba Díez Antxustegi, has stressed that this is a complex challenge that does not have a single solution, but that the PNV is working to ensure access to housing for those who want to live on rent or property.

At the meeting held in Bilbao, the Secretary-General of the Basque Socialists said that there is no electoral calculation behind the non-merger of the two parties. The Secretary-General, Eneko Andueza, added that the main objective is to defend the interests of the citizens.

The mayor has accused the coalition of conducting a "political pressure strategy" campaign.

Following the analysis of the e-mails of former Security Councillor Sonia Lopez, the government team has decided to initiate proceedings to present the facts to the Bizkaia Public Prosecutor's Office.

It has been registered under the urgent procedure and, before the summer, the Youth, Welfare and Demographic Challenge Counsellor, Nerea Melgosa, plans to make changes within two months.

Only PP and UPN have supported the proposal of the far-right party. Junts has voted against, but has registered his bill while maintaining the demand for a ban. The PNV sees the need to work on the issue, proposing the creation of a sub-committee. 

PSE-EE Secretary General Eneko Andueza said in "Egun on Euskadi" that Councilor Denis Itxaso's statements by Aitor Esteban that he "crossed the red line" by criticizing lehendakari Imanol Pradales "do nothing good." 

Asked about the left-wing alliance proposed by Gabriel Rufián, Sintre's General Coordinator, Alba García, has stated that EH Bildu has made it clear that the first option for an electoral alliance would be with the PNV. 

The PNV spokesman in the Basque Parliament, Joseba Diez Antxustegi, told the microphones of Euskadi Irratia that, in general, the relationship with the PSE-EE is good in the day to day. "If one day we have to listen we will have to accept something that we do not like, but we are not here to do it." 

In an interview on Popular Radio, the president of the PNV EBB said that PSE-EE Secretary General Eneko Andueza "has everything organized to make noise" because there is really no in-depth debate that cannot be talked about calmly. 

Asked about the alternative majority that EH Bildu would be working on following the resignation of the mayor jeltzale of Santurtzi, Karmele Tubilla, the president of the PNV in Bizkaia, Iñigo Ansola, has said that he sees no risk of losing the mayor . He has advanced that they have already contacted the PSE-EE.

The PNV spokesman in the Basque Parliament, Joseba Díez Antxustegi, has stated that his party and the PSE-EE, which are members of the government in the main Basque institutions, have "differences" on some issues but are working to resolve them in order to ensure their "stability" and to comply with the government programme in the Basque Country. He has attributed some of the discrepancies between the PNV and the PSE-EE in various areas to the "role of the Spanish Government".

Pello Otxandiano, spokesman for EH Bildu in the Basque Parliament, said: "For weeks now, differences on various issues have been public. We believe that this public debate is unproductive. This is not good for this country."

PNV and EH Bildu have asked the Spanish Government to acknowledge its direct responsibility for the March 3 massacre and to make an official statement at the highest level with this recognition, a request that the PSE-EE does not share. 

The Congress of Deputies of Spain has hosted the first plenary session of the year and the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, has appeared at his own request to explain railway accidents.

San Sebastian City Council's decision to publish the origin of the detainees has exacerbated the tension between the PNV and the PSE-EE. While Aitor Esteban defends the jeltzales "yes, Eneko Andueza disagrees and calls it a" serious mistake. "

The spokeswoman for the congress, Maribel Cowboy, has claimed that the agreements that the Basque Nationalist Party has concluded in Madrid on multirreincidence and evictions show that there is another way of making politics in the face of populism. She has said that jeltzales represent moderation and centrality and has stressed that after learning that Podemos will finally vote for social protection, she hopes to get Junts out of the negative.

On the occasion of Operation Ayesa, the Socialist leader accused the General Deputy of Gipuzkoa  of "lack of leadership". The next day, Asensio said that the existence of disparate opinions on "specific issues" is "within normality".
