“Guarantee in Madrid the Basque parliamentary group with five seats. The parliamentary group will allow us to have a Basque voice in Madrid and therefore establish a line in the General Courts to defend firmly Basque interests and our self-government.” It says that it has undermined the polarizations of the campaign and in that context it has valued the achievement of these results. He is satisfied with the normality of the elections and the conditions under which the participation data have been conducted. “As for the results of the State, we are going to put our votes in the service of the interests of Basque citizens,” he added, and stressed that “the parties will now have to do a complicated exercise of arithmetic”. “Our votes will be decisive, we will manage them responsibly.”

Before the Ortuzar made an assessment of the results, the president of Bizkai Buru Batzar, Itxaso Atutxa, congratulated the citizens on the “compromise” they have demonstrated, because it was more difficult to vote than usual, because it was a “great” day at the end of July, and the time of the Municipal and Foral Elections was so short: “It is to congratulate the effort that people have made, and that is for us the best news today.”
