They are the Cooperation Law and the Trans Law, after agreement has already been reached on the Children and Adolescents Law, and the Energy Transition and Climate Change Law, the latter considered the ‘star law’ of the Basque government.
The Basque Parliament is approaching the end of its term with four important laws due to be adopted in February, but only two of which remain to be approved: the cooperation law and the trans law. childhood and adolescenceand from energy transition and climate change lawthe latter considered the ‘star’ standard of the Basque government.
These are precisely the four laws that the Lehendakari, Iñigo Urkullu, has highlighted to end his last and third term ‘good’, together with the Handover by the state to Euskadi of the three cases that will be transferred in the first quarter of this year: Cercanías railways, homologation of university degrees and reception of immigrants.
As indicated by the Basque Government, the working groups created to implement these transfers continue to negotiate to make them feasible within the period agreed in the investiture pact signed between the PNV and the executive of Pedro Sánchez.
At the same time, parliamentary sources have emphasized that the laws under consideration continue to develop, so it is expected that they will be approved in the inter-parliamentary committee. 29 and 30 of this monthand possibly go to full capacity February 8 or 15or in both plenary sessions.
The executive parties PNV and PSE-EE concluded last week, despite an absolute majority, an agreement with EH Bildu to make progress on the energy transition and climate change, and this Monday the reached pact with Elkarrekin Podemos was announced. the sovereigntist formation on the child and youth law.

Elections on April 21?
The various political formations practically assume that the elections – whose vocation is the exclusive prerogative of the Lehendakari – will take place on April 21, so that the campaign does not coincide with Holy Week or the elections with the feast of San Prudencio, patron saint from Alava. .
When Iñigo Urkullu was asked about the possibility of April 21 as the date of the elections, he joked: “Is it anyone’s birthday?”, making sure that he has not yet thought about what the specific date will be and even to point out that he has not completely ruled out that of June 9, the day on which the European Championship would take place.
However, the hypothesis of the regional elections coinciding with those of the European Parliament is virtually ruled out, according to the sources consulted. Neither the executive nor the PNV believe that this is the most suitable for a campaign in Euskadi, as it will be ‘nationalized’ and, as the PP has defended, there will be ‘a second round’ of the general elections.
