The analysis of Navarre policy needs a seismograph. At least I've always lived it like this. The seismic and political movements shake us in Navarre, because the appearance of unexpected variables is not expected, because some or other scandals erupt, suddenly the words and attitudes of both… And, in short, because the political situation can turn from one moment to another. And I would say that right now we are experiencing the most special political moment of recent years.

The coalition government of UPN and PSN broke in one year. A traumatic fracture and a permanent source of problems for some sectors. With the departure of UPN in a minority, the confrontation with Parliament has been getting harder and harder. The dynamic of cutbacks, the permanent obedience to what has been promised since Madrid, the cases of corruption, the disappearance of Caja Navarra, the scandals and the case of the courts… In addition, the budgets have been extended for two years, despite the fact that UPN has voted against, many laws have been passed, more than a dozen the State has appealed…

The most serious thing is that it is society that is suffering the consequences of all this. All historical limits have been exceeded in the unemployment data, including those in situations of exclusion or risk of exclusion. Or families who don't have any income, who are on the street... In addition, the quality of our public services has been seriously compromised, especially in the health sector. Mismanagement, resignations, cutbacks, privatizations… Chaos.

No restrictions. No privatisation. Basic income for all. Barcina, resignation. UPN, out. No corruption. Elections today. Navarre needs a change. The echo of these slogans has been heard in the streets of Navarra in the last two years. Due to the responsibility for the demand of this social majority, the two parliamentary groups that formed EH Bildu initiated a motion of censure against Barcina with the aim of convening elections. The result is known: The SNP’s abstention allowed Barcina to remain president of the Vitoria-Gasteiz Chamber.

Subsequently, the social, political and institutional situation has been untenable during these months. This situation has been aggravated by the scandalous accusations against Lourdes Goicoechea and Barcina of the former Director of Finance. The smell of corruption still floating in the air has intensified and spread throughout Navarre. The regime was wobbling, but this earthquake has shaken the poles of the base and affected several countries. And in this borderline situation, the PSN itself has shown its willingness to launch a motion of censure to allow the elections on 25 May.

There is no other solution, this situation must end. And that is our priority, to give the floor to Navarre society. It's enough, the Navarros don't deserve it. The cycle of UPN has to end, it has to introduce fresh and clean air into Navarre politics and institutions, for the benefit of society, and not other particular interests. The existence of a state case has been the perfect excuse for decades for Navarre to be in the hands of the most reactionary right, to squander at its will and to ruin its economy and the well-being of the Navarros.

And now is the time. There is no excuse, it is essential to call elections. The first essential step for Navarre to be able to undertake the profound social and political change it needs is to give the floor to Navarre society. We are all necessary and, above all, society. Let us take away the heavy burden of the consequences of UPN and its policy and be protagonists. It's the time for citizenship. n
