The government will be formed, but the question is how, to see what strength the PSN will have, Geroa Bai and With You Navarra within it. In this context we must understand the controversies that exist these days between the PSN and Geroa Bai. Yesterday the PSN and With You Navarre met, and according to Socialists Geroa Bai was also invited, but did not attend. Geroa Bai explained earlier that he had told the PSN that he was not going to show up and accused the socialists of doing theatre.
Why didn't Geroa Bai appear? The main focus is on the distribution of the Governing Councils, and according to the coalition led by Uxue Barkos, a bilateral meeting was held with the PSN to discuss the representation of both parties. The PSN, for its part, stopped convening the meeting on Wednesday 3. Geroa Bai told Chivite that he would not go.
In the last legislature Geroa Bai complained that his forces and those of the PSN were badly reflected in the government. In the 2019 election, the PSN won eleven representatives, as now, and Geroa Bai nine, now seven. With these forces, the PSN ruled the presidency and eight directors, and Geroa Bai 4. Ahal Duguk was in counseling.
That is, therefore, the reason for the current controversies. As Geroa Bai has drawn two fewer parliamentarians, the PSN wants fewer advices for him, but Geroa Bai is not willing to accept him, and wants to keep at least what the last legislature has done, arguing that in the last legislature he had not been properly represented in the government.
The meeting between PSN and EH Bildu took place last Tuesday and the Socialists have announced that no further meetings will be held between them. The socialists clearly told EH Bildu that it would have no place in the government and that in other institutions they would not be together in any government. On the other hand, EH Bildu says that the stories have only just begun, and that there is a possibility of other agreements.
It must be borne in mind that the municipalities will be set up on Saturday and that it is pending to see what will happen in the city of Pamplona. The PSN says it will not support Joseba Asiro, but it is ready to support the candidature of Koldo Martínez from Geroa Bai. EH Bildu has always denied such a third way.
Unai Hualde, President of Parliament's Bureau
In the last legislature he also held that office, and now it seems to be. The PSN has once again wanted to hold the presidency, but Geroa Bai has made it clear what its intentions are and it seems that Hualde will be supported by the PSN and EH Bildu. It is an important post, not least because the Bureau is responsible for marking parliamentary tempus. The composition of the new Parliament is as follows: UPN 15 seats, PSN 11, EH Bildu 9, Geroa Baik 7, PP 3, With You Nafarroa 3 and Vox 2. This last force entered the Parliament of Navarra for the first time, tripling the votes of 2019.
