The chairman of the BBB of the jeltzale formation, Itxaso Atutxa, has criticized the Spanish government for “ruling by decree and alone”. In a possible tax cut to deal with the crisis, Atutxa has ruled out this route and opted for “specific and concrete measures”.
The chairman of the Bizkai Buru Batzar (BBB) of the PNV, Itxaso Atutxaadmitted that “Saying no is very difficult” to the shock plan presented by the Spanish government to absorb the economic consequences of the war in Ukraine, and that the PNV is “ready” for it because “the moment requires it”. However, he has criticized the way the executive… “rule by decree and only”, without “a previous kitchen”. “You say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to a decree, it hasn’t been negotiated,” he complained.
In an interview with Radio Euskadi’s “Boulevard” program, the leader of Jeltzale explained that her party “is studying the decree, which is very technical and very comprehensive” and revealed that her group became aware “after a very short conversation “. before it was announced. “Of course this is not a good start and not a good transition to another vote, which is necessary after the last votes where the numbers were very fair,” he criticized.
When asked what Euskadi can do to alleviate the crisis, Atutxa said: a tax cut excluded, because, in his opinion, “it is a very serious matter” and “will not have any positive consequences in the long run”. He has reiterated that the PNV is committed to adopting “specific measures for specific periods and for specific sectors”, which is “quite different from a general tax cut”.
Likewise, he pointed out that aid “will not respond to structural problems”, which must be addressed with the institutions’ budgets and with the European recovery funds. “That’s the way,” he emphasized.
According to the truck drivers strikewho supports the Hiru Union in Euskadi, has stated that the invasion of Ukraine “affects all of us, as all of Europe is at war in two areas: freedom and democracy, and economy, and there you have to try distinguish between the conjunctural and the structural” For example, he has argued that “very specific aid can be articulated to respond to the current specific context”, but that the response to structural problems in the sector will have to be studied at a later date, taking into account the European scenario.
As for Sánchez’s change of position on the SaharaAtutxa is confident that the president’s statements are “more plausible” than those of the minister in the commission, because if not, “we will return to another failure”.
Finally, when asked what your opinion is on the popular consultation launched this Sunday in use only for a possible withdrawal of Galdakao, he has asked “not to mislead the usosolotarras by saying that the ball is on the roof of the Diputación de Bizkaia”, since, as he recalled, “it has been the PNV that has proclaimed and who has presented the amendment to the standard so that this would be possible”. According to Atutxa, “from the PNV we will support the procedure to continue on its course, but it will conflict with the jurisprudence and state legislation that requires 5,000 inhabitants (Usan only has 4,700).”
