The president of the EBB has indicated that the “main” goal of his party “in the short term” should be compliance with the Gernika Statute.
The President of the Euskadi Buru Batzar Andoni Ortuzar has insisted that it is time to promote self-government during an event organized this Saturday to mark the 115th anniversary of the founding of the municipal organization EAJ-PNV in Leioa (Bizkaia) .
Ortuzar has indicated that his party’s “main” goal “in the short term” should be to comply with the Statute of Gernika.
In this sense, Ortuzar has insisted EH Bildu to tackle the debate on self-government ‘without arrogance or imposition’, because ‘he who took such a wrong turn’ cannot ‘now claim to be a bus driver and want to direct the route’.
He also deemed it “paradoxical” that those who “have not complied with it for 45 years” and now “do not want to make progress towards greater self-government” have celebrated the Statute, citing for the PSOE and the PPwhich he criticized for wanting to ‘show off the anniversary of the Statute’.
Ortuzar has started a round of discreet contacts with the rest of the parties on self-government reform, and has assured that the PNV wants to “take Euskadi into the future.”
For this reason, he affirms that his party will work hard to achieve this goal a ‘qualitative leap’ in ‘future self-government’ with ‘the maximum possible support and consensus’ in Euskadi “and in Madrid”, but “without vetoes and without impositions”. They have also indicated that they would like this “that this time the nationalist left would join the agreement.”
