Ortuzar has called for a vote on 21A to achieve a “clear” victory in Urkullu’s last Aberri Eguna as Lehendakari. Pradales has placed well-being and global and humanistic agendas at its core.
The PNV has proposed a self-governance pact in the Aberri Eguna, thereby “positively overcoming” the ecological, digital and social transitions so that “Euskadi remains a thriving and recognized European nation.”
The chairman of Euzkadi Buru Batzar of the PNV, Andoni Ortuzar, He spoke in these terms at the Aberri Eguna event at Plaza Nueva in Bilbao, emphasizing that “sufficient self-governance” is necessary to achieve these challenges, because without implementing them the Yeltzale leader sees the danger that Euskadi “an unknown neighborhood on the edge of I don’t know what place.”
Although he has made it clear that the EAJ-PNV is looking at April 21, 2036 and not April 21, 2024 when proposing these agreements, the Jeltzale leader did not ignore in his speech the threat and importance of the elections to the Basque Parliament . will be held within 21 days: “It’s close, but we’re going to win. The question is how and by how much.” For this reason, he has asked Jeltzale members to “fully mobilize the votes.”
According to Ortuzar “and what is at stake is not whether PNV is more than EH Bildu or EH Bildu is more than PNV. No. That is a very simplistic reading. What is at stake is the answer that Euskadi will give from his institutions.” to all these transitions in the coming years. Which government and with what strength in parliament will propose measures to guarantee that progress and well-being. And one government is not the same as another, one party is not the same as another.”
Precisely, and addressing EH Bildu, he said that he “hides behind ambiguity so that no voice escapes.” “Don’t they have a hidden agenda there, an agenda with their true intentions, which they would later implement if they were to rule, as happened in Gipuzkoa?” he asked.
The candidate for lehendakari, Imanol Pradalesfor his part, has defended, as the first axis of his candidacy, the creation of a new welfare agenda, “to update, solve and improve the social demands that our society currently has”, regarding housing, Osakidetza, security, education, high-quality employment, care, the demographic challenge or energy transformations.
The second axis would be a global agenda “that allows us to grow as a country in the international context and make a qualitative leap by participating in networks of influence in the world.”
Finally, the third axis would be the humanist agenda, “to address the growing gap between generations, the duality in the labor market between good and bad jobs, the gender gap, the digital divide, the urban-rural divide, the risks of an unjust ecological transition, or the inequality between the public and private spheres”.
Inigo Urkullu He received warm applause when he spoke in what was his last Aberri Eguna as Lehendakari, and wanted to “thank Basque society for the trust placed in it these years.” Thanks to everyone for their contribution and efforts’. Thank you to the family of the Basque Nationalist Party for the support received.”
He has called for voting for the PNV in the April 21 elections, because thanks to the last term of office, “Euskadi today is more of a nation; with more and better self-government; with more and better public services”, among other things.
The head of the PNV list in the European elections, Oihane Agirregoitia, and the secretary of EGI, Beatriz Berlanga, also spoke at the event held today in Bilbao.
