The general coordinator of EH Bildu has shown himself willing to make “his own contributions”, both at the table to improve Osakidetza’s situation and in the ethical pact proposed by Pradales.
The general coordinator of EH Bildu, Arnaldo Otegi stated that the Lehendakari, Imanol Pradales and the new Basque government “They have put it right” and made “a change in the way of doing things” in recognizing the Osakidetza situationcompared to the previous director. However, he hopes that the change will not remain in “aesthetic terms” but rather in “ethical and political” terms.
In an interview in Naiz Irratia, Otegi recalled that the previous Lehendakari, Iñigo Urkullu, denied that Osakidetza had any problems and stated that there was “a conspiracy led by EH Bildu, together with workers and unions, which gave a bad image” of the service.
In this regard, he has positively appreciated “the change” of the new executive and joins the “proposal made by EH Bildu some time ago” to bring social, trade union and political actors to the same table to address the situation in Osakidetza.
However, the general coordinator of EH Bildu does notice that this change is still “in the forms” and although he valued it as something “important”, calls on the government to ‘get to the bottom’.
The government policies “that have led us to this situation, in his view, will not be the solution,” and he believes the time has come to “address issues of privatization, insecurity, quality public services and to propose that health care is a human right.” “We are going to talk about it and we are going to make our own contribution,” he added.
Asked for the ethical pact proposed by the Lehendakari At the beginning of the political course, Otegi showed himself ‘agree’ with the discussion around ethics and believes they can be valid “as long as it is done in constructive terms”, and therefore he has assured that they “will make their own contribution”.
However, he denied that in the politics of Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa there exists ‘the tension and polarization that is experienced in the Spanish state’. “Perhaps in Alta Navarra something similar will happen, provoked by the Spanish right and the far right, but here at the moment that phenomenon does not exist”, he concluded.
