According to the EH Bildu spokesperson, “logic dictates it; I don’t think anyone is hoping to reach a position that doesn’t suit him.” As for Gipuzkoa, he says Iriarte “will lose” if the “triple” of PNV, PSE and PP is articulated. Urruzuno accuses the PNV of “laundering and empowering” the PP for 23J.
The spokesman for EH BilduUnai Urruzuno, doesn’t see Bermeo’s mayor’s office in jeopardy, following the resignation of the elected mayor, Asier Larrauri. Tensions have arisen in recent hours between the sovereignist coalition and the independent Guzan platform over who should lead the local government as each proposes its candidate. However, Urruzuno believes that, under the political agreement signed by both formations, the mayoralty corresponds to the sovereignist coalition. “It’s what logic dictates, and I don’t think anyone has any hope of reaching a position that doesn’t suit them,” he explained.
In an interview with Euskadi Irratia’s “Faktoria” program, Urruzuno assured that the political agreement “is based on certain content, for which responsibilities and positions are divided. If the agreement is applied, the mayor’s office corresponds to EH Bildu, and the first deputy mayor would be from Guzan, and the second from EH Bildu”. For those who don’t understand, I’ll give another example: if Lehendakari Iñigo Urkullu resigns, would the presidency go to Idoia Mendia? No?” he wondered.
Urruzuno has analyzed the political scene after the M28 elections and emphasizes that EH Bildu is “the first municipal force”. On this he has the strategy of the jeltzales to “remove” several mayors from the coalition: “Has an agreement or alliance with the PP. Until now the support of the PSE-EE has been enough, but now it is not enough. It has taken the PP out of its residue and given it a usefulness.” Moreover, he believes that these moves could also explain how the PNV has become with Eudel’s presidency. “If EH Bildu ruled in Gasteiz and Durango – they finally hands of socialists and jeltzales – EH Bildu would have the majority in Eudel,” he stressed.
About the situation GuipuzkoaThe spokesman for EH Bildu has emphasized that “if this trio (formed by PNV, PSE-EE and PP) is articulated” Maddalen Iriarte “will lose the Provincial Council”. Similarly, Urruzuno has denounced that the PNV has “whitewashed and strengthened the PP EAJk ahead of the July elections”.
Finally, on the echoes of illegalization that could become general if the right wins 23J, Urruzuno has admitted that “Spanish fascism is capable of anything” and has asked “not to frivolize” on the issue.
