Imanol Pradales

President Imanol Pradales on Monday called on 14 industrial territories with "great innovative and economic potential," meeting in Bilbao to put their capabilities at the service of Europe, "ensuring the future of the European project," which is "at risk" in an "unstable and uncertain" world.

The President has announced that these two meetings, agreed with the Spanish President at the meeting on 27 January, will take place before Easter and has stressed that a policy based on respect and responsibility will continue.

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.

It will be the first time the Basque Country has participated in the World Economy Foro. 

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."

Amaia Martinez reported on Wednesday that her family's shop in the Alavesa capital had been painted against "fascism."

Amaia Martínez, Vox's only member of parliament in the Basque Parliament, has seen a lehendakari "arrogant, complacent and not self-critical." "We Basques have many problems and lehendakari solves them with more Euskera, increasing the presence of the Basque Country around the world and the officiality of the Basque ball," added Martínez.

The lehendakari has called for hope in the current "alarming" international political context and warned that "patience is running out" because commitments to self-government are not being fulfilled.

Jon Hernandez, a member of the Sumar coalition of the Basque Government, has stated that the President, Imanol Pradales, has made a "scandalous" speech at the end of the year, which, according to the Member, has been "complacent" and is "absolutely alien to everyday reality."

The president of the Basque PP, Javier de Andrés, believes that lehendakari, Imanol Pradales, has forgotten in his end-of-year speech three of the main problems of the Basques: the cost of housing, the increase in crime and the loss of purchasing power of the Basques.

"The Basque Country belongs to all of you who contribute to respecting and strengthening the foundations of our house, wherever you come from," the lehendakari stressed in his end-of-year message, which can be viewed in full at orain.eus from 14:00. 

A summary, in two words, of what will be news in the Present today.

This year President Imanol Pradales has tried to show his own identity through the cry of change, but in the Spanish State the political conflict has reached its peak in the middle of the legislature, until the power of Pedro Sánchez has been shaken. 

President Imanol Pradales proclaimed on Monday the 'warrior' Txomin Letamendi on the 75th anniversary of his death as a result of the brutal torture he suffered during Francoism.

Pello Otxandiano says that the active listening process carried out in the region has been an exercise in maturity that should serve as an example for the future, while the lehendakari recalls the statements of the left abertzale against the Guggenheim project in Bilbao.

President Imanol Pradales referred to the tough debate between EH Bildu and PP in the Basque Parliament. 

President Imanol Pradales welcomed the step taken yesterday by European leaders, who in June 2027 urged the European Commission to develop a strategy to boost the Atlantic macroregion by the end of 2027.
