In that sense, Ortuzar wishes the new direction “good luck” for a “successful” management, which keeps the party in “the high levels of institutional representation that we now have, or even overcome”. “They will always have my help and support with that mission,” he says.
Ortuzar decides his letter and emphasizes that he has been “a great honor” to preside the PNV and to thank the “support and affection” of the militance again.
