"We need a new cycle of collaboration to get out of the crisis"

  • The PNV has won the general election and won 31 seats, three more than in the 2016 general election. Andoni Ortuzar referred to Iñigo Urkullu as a guide to getting out of the crisis and made an offer of cooperation to all political parties and Basque society.

12 July 2020 - 23:50

The President of the Basque Nationalist Party has stated that the incumbent of today is as follows: “We have clearly won today’s elections, with excellent results.”

Ortuzar has shown his confidence that Basque society has given the PNV and said that his party "will not fail, will fulfil its word". He recalled the last "difficult" months and advanced that the next three years will also be difficult. He added that, in order to cope with the crisis, they will have three objectives: employment, social cohesion and self-government.

To get out of the crisis he has offered all political parties and Basque society to start a new cycle of collaborations, “I am not talking about a particular party,” he said.

Ortuzar congratulated and thanked Iñigo Urkullu, the hitherto lehendakari and that of the next legislature, to which he has submitted his candidature. Marcelo Bielsa has stated that it is the "guide" needed to emerge from the economic crisis.

He said that they will manage the new situation, victory, with humility, “our elders have taught us to act with humility.”

Iñigo Urkullu reminds Alberto Sololuze and Joaquín Beltrán

Lehendakari has reiterated the words of his party colleague Andoni Ortuzar, but he has also referred to other issues today. At the end of the hearing, he mentioned several names and reminded the workers Sololuze and Beltran that they were caught under rubble after the fall of part of the Zaldibar dump. He has not given any explanation of the event, he has only mentioned the two names and names of the relatives of the three deceased. He later recalled the 1,622 people and their families killed by COVID-19.

"Penko" collective in the Basque regional elections
In democracy, penalties, suspensions, chains, too little. A society that has elections and votes as the basis for making politics should say that to itself when half of the population does not even participate in the party, right?
