Lehendakari Iñigo Urkullu ahead of the 5 April elections
- At 16:00 hours he appeared before the media to inform the public that the lehendakari, Iñigo Urkullu, surrounded by members of his government, terminates the term of office and has called elections for April 5.
At the press conference, Urkullu referred to a number of factors for the end of the legislature, including the situation of the governability of Spain, doubts about the possibilities of cooperation with Elkarrekin-Podemos, the situation of the committees of self-government and coexistence that exist within Parliament, etc. He has denied that the possibility of an electoral advance in Catalonia has influenced his decision by the Generalitat.
Asked about the Zaldibar accident and in particular by journalists, Urkullu pointed out that there were a number of people who regretted the lack of reaction of lehendakari to this serious crisis, two things: on the one hand, that its style is not to be shown when a natural disaster or an accident at work occurs, and on the other, that since Thursday the government has a crisis table in place to address this problem. Going into the details, the lehendakari reported that the news of the accident was directly received by the Interior Minister and that when he received the news he was precisely meeting with the counselor.
Iñigo Urkullu said that, although he has not been physically at Zaldibar, he has not stopped as the representatives of the Basque Government are there, and that they have been with their families over and over again every day. He has anticipated that following the press conference, the follow-up committee will meet at 17:00, with the presence – presided over by the lehendakari – of four members of the Basque Government, the Deputy General and the Environmental Advisers of Bizkaia and the mayors of Zaldibar, Ermua and Eibar.
