Elkarrekin Podemos parliamentary spokesperson, Watch Gorrotxategihas denied that the PSE-EE proposed agreements to participate in possible governments in Gipuzkoa or Vitoria-Gasteiz. “Is not true. I don’t know if Andueza mixed what he would like to do with what he actually did,” he stressed in an interview with the Euskadi Irratia program “Faktoria”.
