The PNV delegate criticizes the fact that the Basque PP “does not lose its chance” to attack the Jeltzales, and denounces Feijóo’s attitude. According to Esteban, it is “worrying” that the PP “does not outright condemn” the attacks on socialist deputies and the “call for a coup” by Abascal.

Now that Pedro Sánchez has been sworn in as Spanish president, the PNV spokesperson in the Congress of Deputies, Aitor Esteban, has taken for granted that the House of Representatives will approve the General State Budgets (PGE), as “it is the instrument that you have to give to the government and that you have just introduced,” he argued. In your opinion, the bills should already contain some of the agreed points in the agreement between PNV and PSOE, such as replacement ratios in the PPOs or debt ceilings. “The sooner things are done, the better,” he emphasized.
In an interview for the program “Boulevard” on Radio Euskadi, Esteban predicted “a very complicated legislaturewith many parties and electoral confrontation”, and that there will also be “additional tensions in the Catalan atmosphere”. “I would not put my hand in the fire for the next four years,” he admitted. However, he pointed out that a Motion of censure is ‘practically impossiblewith the Vox grid”.
Questioned by the continuous criticism of the Basque PP As for the Yeltzales, Esteban believes that “they will continue” until the Basque elections. “Andrés does not lose his trick. There is no sentence that says that the PNV is not there, but so is Feijóo,” he stated. The PNV spokesperson in Congress says he does not understand “the resentment” of the party popular while the PNV has been “very clear”. “In an agreement involving Vox, the PNV will not participate, because we already see it in Ferraz, they are the proud heirs of fascism,” he emphasized.
In the same vein, he finds it “worrying” that Feijóo’s PP is carrying out attacks on socialist deputies or the “Call for a coup,” said Vox spokesperson Santiago Abascal, he delivered in his speech to Congress. According to Esteban, Vox “doesn’t care about the democratic system and is calling for a coup, and this should be worrying for all democrats, including the PP.”
Finally, Esteban didn’t want to reveal what “offers” that the PP made to them in exchange for their support for Feijóo’s inauguration, calling it “mere speculation” to claim that the Ministry of Industry has been introduced to them – this is what several media outlets claim. “It’s speculation, with little imagination,” he described, saying he wanted to “turn the page” on the issue.
