Chivite today meets with Geroa Bai and Contigo Navarra to form a new government

The socialist candidate Mary Chivite will meet this Thursday with those who have been her partners in this legislature, Geroa Bai and the Contigo Navarra coalition, in which Podemos is, to negotiations begin to form a new government in the Foral community.

With the intention of creating a tripartite government that “distances the right and the extreme right from power”, they have indicated from the PSN, the candidate will first meet the leader of Geroa Bai, you barkand later with that of Contigo Navarra, Alfaro beganalthough it will be three from the second meeting.

These are the formations that succeeded in 2019 in agreeing a government program and dividing up the various responsibilities of the executive, and who later ruled for four years with the abstention of EH Bildu.

The scenario is slightly different from that of 2019, as these three forces have less support within Navarre’s parliament.

Four years agoPSN (11 parliamentarians), Geroa Bai (9) and Podemos (2) added 22 seats, to 4 of the absolute majority, but with that of Izquierda-Ezkerra, who signed the programmatic agreement, but did not enter the government, they were 23. Therefore, the abstinence from EH Bilduhaving 7 representatives was needed to get more yes than no on the second ballot.

in this case, the PSN has kept its strength, Contigo Navarra has the three that Podemos and IE had, but Geroa Bai has dropped from 9 to 7, so these parties would have 22 seats. The abstinence or support from EH Bildu It will remain key to be able to govern, as on the right there is UPN with 15, the PP with 3 and Vox with 2 seats, but the Abertzale coalition, with more support (9 instead of 7) could demand more than in 2019.
