“We have mobilized the votes and confirmed the PP’s rising trend since the last elections.”

The General Secretary of the People’s Party of Euskadi, Laura Garrido, has stated that “it is clear that the votes have been mobilized and that the upward trend of popular formation since the last elections is confirmed.” The PP gained one extra representative in the elections for the Basque parliament and won seven seats with almost 37 thousand votes more than four years ago.

Looking to the future and the possible governance of a government between PNV and PSE, Garrido highlighted in the program “Factory” by Euskadi Irratia that “it would be advisable to seek broad agreements.” In this sense, he recalled that the training will put on the table “what we have defended so far” and recalled that the aim is to “be decisive” in making policies and implementing various measures.

With one more representative, the Popular Party grows by 60% in votes. Bizkaia and Álava have seen the most growth, although results have also improved in Gipuzkoa. Asked about the reason for this increase, the party’s secretary general emphasized, on the one hand, the abstention four years ago and, on the other, the possible votes of the PNV: “People have been critical of the management of the Basque government. government and the PNV,” he said. “It is clear that the PNV has lost votes. That would require deep reflection,” he added.

In addition to the rise of the PP, VOX retains the seat it had, which means that the right has emerged stronger from these elections. Given all this, the secretary of the Basque People’s Party has indicated that “now is the time to analyze the data and look at the vote transfers.”
