I'm writing looking at the Mediterranean, but the Basque is listening a lot in the surroundings. The result of a detour of languages would be very decent. It's Easter week. Closure of schools in the four territories of the southern border. Thousands of Basque families in hotels near the beach, on foot, by bicycle dressed in Behobia’s t-shirt… Some familiar faces of the Basque culture of Navarre also rest. Apparently everything is calm. Few yellow ribbons in the breasts. Large banner on the main balcony of Cambrils City Hall: Llibertat prisoners politics. Stars in several houses. One or another Spanish flag. The hospitality sector is very pleased, as all corners have been full of people during Easter, that is, hotels, restaurants, bars and shops, and a lot of time. To the media in Madrid, however, it seems that there have been fewer people than in the Monegros of Madrid. Mayor of Esquerra, with the PDeCat and the PSC in the government team. C's two councillors. In the last December elections, the Arrimadas team was the first force and, according to the surveys, also won in the State, pushing messages in favor of the Spanish nation, in response to the Catalan issue. The political tendencies of the State have a great influence in Navarre, and the messages in favour of the unity of Spain have always gathered many followers. But – apparently – not as long as 30-35 years ago. For example, the balconies of Pamplona were going to be full of Spanish flags three or four decades ago, in relation to the events of Catalonia, as they have now happened in Zaragoza. On this occasion, yes, it is true, many yellow and red flags have appeared in the Navarre capital, but it has not been so.

However, this new external factor must necessarily be taken into account in the run-up to next year’s elections. Citizens did not come by chance into the Parliament of Navarre and now, apparently, defeated by the State trend, will far exceed the barrier of the ten seats. If it's to the detriment of UPN and PP, less bad, but it's not so clear. This was not expected when three years ago the government of change, nor the generalized fall of Podemos (according to the surveys), let alone the terrible and devastating war that has occurred in Podemos Navarra. That's a gift for UPN. Some people think there's nothing to do and it's been the government of change. It is clear that if UPN, PSN, pp and Citizens sum 26, Esparza will be lehendakari. But again, things were very tight, and a year later the same thing. Factors, a year ago people are turning on again for change and we can retain the vote of the voted people. That's the challenge.
