Spokesman Jeltzale assures that “everything is still very open.” He does not rule out a repeat election, not even because Moncloa makes its own ‘demographic calculation’, or because one of the negotiating partners does not reach an agreement with the PSOE.
The PNV spokesperson in Congress, Aitor Estebanhas admitted that no progress has been made in its negotiations on the appointment of the current acting president of the Spanish government, Pedro Sánchez, and does not “at all” rule out the possibility of a repeat general election on January 14.
In statements to Congress, Esteban has pointed out that the PNV has so far spoken “very little” with the PSOE on this issue and that things are “as they were yesterday and as they will be this weekend.” “There is nothing, no news.”
According to him, first there is “another political actor who must take action”, referring to the Junts, and then the others will leave, including the PNV. In that context, he indicated, they will go further and see whether there are grounds for an agreement.
As he said, “everything is still very open” and therefore he does not rule out a repeat of the elections “at all”, either because Moncloa makes its own ‘demographic calculation’ or because one of the negotiating partners does not reach an agreement with the PSOE .
Regarding the amnesty demanded by the Catalan independents, he said that “we will have to see the formula” agreed upon, but in any case he leaves the leading role in the negotiations on this issue to the ERC and the Junts. “We will not be the ones to put pen to paper, others will be the key players,” he noted.
