At the presentation of the pact, the absence of the PNV spokesperson in the Eibar municipal council, Josu Mendicute, attracted attention. When asked about this, the chairman of the municipality’s jeltzale group acknowledged that there are different views on the agreement.

Four socialist representatives and three Yeltzales join the local government. PNV will take over the delegations of Equality, Youth, Basque Country, Mobility-Traffic, Environment and Egoibarra.
During the presentation of the agreement, attention was drawn to the absence of the PNV spokesperson in the Eibar Municipal Council, Josu Mendikute, who has assured EITB in a telephone conversation that he will provide full explanations about his actions in the party’s internal bodies.
Asked about the issue, the judge acknowledged that the agreement with the Socialists has led to disagreements within the party, as some see “more disadvantages than advantages”. On the question of whether Mendikute will continue in the municipal group, he indicated that it is up to him to convey his decision to the competent authorities.
For their part, the two opposition groups, EH Bildu and Elkarrekin Podemoshave shown their anger because, they claim, they learned about the agreement through the media. They have also expressed surprise at the “major differences” that exist between the PSE-EE and the PNV in the municipality, as they have said. For this reason, they believe that the agreement has been imposed from outside.
