According to the Vox parliamentarian, “we Basques do not need fantasies or fictions that turn the Basque Country into a false oasis.” “We need a political model that is true to our history,” he said.

Following Lehendakari Iñigo Urkullu’s speech this morning, the general policy debate resumed at 2.30 pm with the intervention of the parliamentarian of vox in the Basque Chamber, Amaya Martinez, who has harshly criticized “the management model of the PNV”. “A chimeric exclusive and differentiated model that we are going to demonstrate today responds more to a good political marketing exercise than to the reality that we Basques suffer and suffer on a daily basis,” he said.
In his view, the Basque Country does not need more powers, “but rather an efficient territorial model, well-sized and effectively managed”. “You know that it is very cold outside Spain and that is why you are proposing a status based on concepts such as political agreement or shared sovereignty,” he said. He has accused the PNV of seeking “a subsidized independence where we invite and the Spaniards pay”
Similarly, in his speech, Martínez pointed out that Urkullu “offers formulas based on simple placebos to handle situations that require real shock treatment”. He believes that the Lehendakari has “provided simple patches to problems that require structural solutions” and that the current coalition government “represents a model of political management based on alliances and dangerous friendships”.
The Vox MP has also referred to “the galloping and uncontrolled inflation” that takes place with “runaway and uncontrolled prices”, an “unsustainable” situation for the citizens. “We Basques are going to have a long, almost endless winter frosty and plunged into a long darkness,” he warned.
He recalled that Iñigo Urkullu’s “star proposal” was to cut income tax by 4%, to which he added today a new deflation “that would cover underlying inflation” within a new program of measures endowed with 400 million euros In this sense, he has indicated that citizens do not need “gratuities”, but rather “a far-reaching tax reform that ensures solid, stable and sustainable economic growth”.
On the other hand, he added that Osakidetza is “a ship loaded with water” and has become “a prime example of the decline and loss of leadership positions that the Basque Country has suffered in recent decades”.
Finally, the Vox MP has also strongly criticized the draft of the new education law and the language policy of the Basque government. “It is an attack on freedom of education and freedom as a whole. Education and language policies in the service of ideology,” he concluded.m
