EH Bildu’s spokesperson at the Gipuzkoa General Assemblies, Maddalen Iriarteconsider that the PSE-EE will ‘neutralize’ the agreement on the right to decide has been agreed with the PNV in the area, since, as he has denounced, the partners of the executive branch ‘function as if there were two governments’ and ‘they neutralize each other’ on various issues , creating a ‘deadlock’ situation.
In an interview for the Euskadi Irratia program “Faktoria”, Iriarte explained that, conversely, the Jeltzales “neutralize” issues related to the housing law approved by the Socialist government. As for the pact on the right to decide, Iriarte has admitted this It was “easy” to agree on a text with the PNV, as they had the foundations that both had agreed on in the parliamentary presentation on self-government of 2018and which included the right to decide and recognize the Basque nation. According to the nationalist leader, there are “sufficient majorities” to adopt declarations to this effect, both in the rest of the territories, and in parliament, “and even in the majority of municipal councils.”
In this sense, he believes that it would be “very serious” if the agreement is not extended; “No one would understand, and then they say there is dissatisfaction with politics,” he added. ‘What’s at stake? Just a few positions?’ he asked, immediately lamenting that “this country will not progress because of those positions.”
According to Iriarte, something similar happens with the tax reformand referred to the Decalogue agreed upon during the presentation of the General Assemblies of Gipuzkoa. “We have reached a very important agreement, and now it is time to translate it into a text and turn it into a regional law,” he explained. He therefore believes that Gipuzkoa’s deputy general, Eider Mendoza, should be a “forerunner” of the “fair and progressive” tax reforms that citizens need. A reform that will have to be “harmonized” with Bizkaia and Álava, he warned. In addition, he has called for a “reconsideration” of the deductions currently granted for home purchases. “We bought a lot, now we need a different culture,” he claimed.
Finally questioned about her preferences in the link of the And Basque with Navarra, Gipuzkoan’s spokesperson has called for a “reflection” on the management of this infrastructure. “It was a huge mistake,” and he warned that the Ezkio-Itsaso station “could become a ghost station after spending millions of euros.”
