"Nobody will move from the PNV. Nobody is going to take us where we don't want, but we're not going to take us to Basque society where we don't want." This was said on Sunday by the President of the Euzkadi Buru Batzar, Andoni Ortuzar, in Foronda (Araba), on Party Day celebrated by the PNV. Thousands of people have been cited in the 47th edition.

He says that it is a "complex" political era, that we live less in the community and that there is more individualism. In the words of the Ortuzar, this situation favors "populism" and "constricting", but emphasizes that the PNV is entitled to "re-illusion". "The PNV has heard what citizens have said in recent months, both those who have led us to be the first force at municipal and foral level, and those who have taken care of not going to vote."

"It is time to get out of the comfort of the batzokis", "to open up to new realities and references". For the Basque Country to follow its path towards self-government and progress, it has underlined the "real" progress, and not the one that is claimed "in any way", because the opposition speaks "easily".

PNV DNA

The president of EBB says that his genes in DNA have led PNV to "lead" this nation. The drawing that represents the DNA chromosome has the form of a chain and with it has also represented the chain of the PNV, which says that "it has not been interrupted." These genes say that in history there are actions of people who were members of the PNV. Among them are Agirre, Arzallus, Ibarretxe and Urkullu.

Spanish democracy, "sick"

Ortuzar stressed the need to "strengthen" the democracy of the Spanish Government, "to strengthen and prestigious the institutions, to give stability to the system and to make our democratic level as the European". He says that on this road will be the PNV, and expresses his willingness to collaborate with other parties and social entities. He has especially wanted to extend his hand to those who have described strike and protest as a unique way." It believes that the solution will not come from the strike, but from dialogue and agreement.

The words of the Ortuzar have had a greater impact on Party Day, but also the President of the Basque Government, Iñigo Urkullu, and the EGI Secretary of Navarra, Amaiur Guindeo, have spoken. Urkullu talks about the PNV values and emphasizes resident work. These values are "the centrality of the person, sharing prosperity, social cohesion and the political culture of cooperation, agreement and alliances". For his part, Guindo has pointed out that "the youth of the seven Basque territories" is willing to "fill with desire" the future of the Basque Country.
