The Erdaldun press of Hego Euskal Herria has emphasized that they are counselors with a "technical" profile since Imanol Pradales presented the team on Saturday. In particular, the Jeltzales counselors referred to this "technical" profile, while the Socialists have made it "more partisan".

The PNV consists of two persons who, despite having been investigated by the public prosecutor at some point or by a certain activity, have been appointed as advisors: Alberto Martínez, Health Advisor, who for the last 23 years has been Head of the Anesthesia Area of the Hospital de Cruces; and Amaia Barredo, Minister of Food, Rural Development and Fisheries, Vice-Minister of Arantxa Tapia and Deputy Minister of Sustainability of Álava.

Alberto Martinez was one of the presidents of the 2018 irregular review court of Osakidetza’s public job offer, which has created a katramil for a long time but has not yet been clarified. He is not under investigation, but the prosecutor's office called the recording of the interview held by him and an analyst "imputable". As the journalist from El Diario, Iker Rioja, a close person who was going to do the study, asked Martínez to "welcome" him. He was not surprised, therefore, it is a sign that they have been done. However, Martínez replied that at that time he did not know whether he was going to be the head of the court or not, and that he would arrive a month later to "discuss the issue" again.

Barredo, who has been Vice-Minister for the Environment, is awaiting investigation by the High Court of Justice of the Basque Country. In fact, the prosecution considers that there may be irregularities in the processing of the authorization granted to the Bergara Valogreene Paper project. The Court of Vitoria was investigating, but since it is going to take office as a counsellor and it is going to be prepared, it will be handed over to the Supreme.

The Government of Pradales will have fifteen members, ten from the PNV and five from the PSE-EE. The PSE-EE of the Urkullu legislature had two and the PNV had one less. In that government only one counsellor was a Castilian speaker; now the three counsellors do not know Basque.

FIFTEEN MEMBERS, POSTS AND PROFILES

The new government has more than one obvious novelty. For example, the post of "Transport" will not be called "Sustainable Mobility", which was previously used. In addition, and most obviously, there are no departments with the name "Equality". Because, as many feminists have asked for, the Pradales Presidency is going to do, as she herself said, "feminist social policies." The other surprise is that Pradales has appointed Zupiria as a Security Advisor.
