Euskaraz irakurri: Eusko Legebiltzarrak Euskal Sektore Publikoaren legea onartu du
The Basque Parliament has given the green light this Thursday for the Basque law on the public sector, with the votes for the PNV and the PSE-EE and the abstention of EH Bildu and Elkarrekin Podemos-IU PP+Cs and Vox voted against.
The law considers a simplification of the existing structure Yes propose for end “inefficiencies, overlaps and duplications” between institutional levels.
In the debate which took place before the vote, the two parties supporting the Basque government have defended the law. As they have explained, it will allow to modernize the Basque administration, take measures to eliminate duplication and guarantee the language rights of Basque speakers. EH Bildu and Elkarrekin Podemos-IU, for their part, have assured that the law “falls short”, but that they have opted to abstain because some of their contributions have been taken into account.
Of the GDP, Estibalitz Larrauri has defended that it is an “adequate” and “up-to-date” standard that will avoid overlap and duplication thanks to the tightening of the evaluation. As it has said, it also notes that the creation of new public entities “will have to be justified”. “With this new law, the public sector wins,” he added.
Watch Gallastegi (PSE-EE) has claimed the law allows a “regulatory framework” to have a public sector “serving everyone, more comfortable and accessible”, stressing that “there are plenty of reasons to give it a favorable vote”.
the parliamentarian of EH PictureLeire Pinedo has stressed that the law “falls short” and that “an opportunity has been missed” to create a better public sector in several areas, such as updating it or making it “more affordable” for citizens. However, he has acknowledged improvements over the original text, thanks in part to his group’s input.
Jon Hernandez (Elkarrekin Podemos-IU) has emphasized that a good opportunity has been missed, partly because it will not solve the “serious shortcomings” of the Basque public sector or because it hardly improves democratic control and transparency. He has agreed with EH Bildu that it should be applied to the entire Basque public sector and has also denounced that social actors are being denied their role. In any case, he has appreciated that many of his contributions have been taken into account.
Louis Gordillo (PP+Cs) has assured that the standard contains nothing new and regrets that his coalition’s proposals to “modernize” the public sector have not been accepted.
Finally, Amaia Martinez (vox) has denounced that the law is full of “vagueness” and that it gives the Basque government “freedom to act through decrees”, saying it is an “open door for the creation of new institutional swarms to development of public companies.
