Until the elections, the executive retained all its powers, but as of today the Lehendakari and the councilors are in office. Next Tuesday they will hold the first government council in this situation.
He Basque government has entered a new phase after the elections. Until April 21, the executive branch functioned completely normally, despite the dissolution of the Basque parliament. However, as of today sits in the office.
Now that Parliament has been dissolved and the Permanent Deputation has been put into effect until the election date of April 21, the Basque government has retained all its powers and has been able to adopt decrees in its weekly meetings, such as assistance to minors orphaned by sexist violence or the obligation to carry weapons for local police.
However, once the votes for the renewal of parliament are held, the executive branch becomes active. As of today, the lehendakari, the vice lehendakaris and the councilors have limited powers, which are necessary to avoid a power vacuum in the Basque Autonomous Community.
Next Tuesday they will hold their first acting government council, and this will last until the election of a new Lehendakari by the Basque parliament.
