In a scenario marked by uncertainty, Lehendakari Urkullu has announced that the Basque government budget project for 2023 will exceed EUR 14 billion for the first time. “It represents a new step in consolidating the economic and social foundations that will enable us to face up to a difficult year“, has explained.
Iñigo Urkullu has confirmed that “the process of slowing down is being observed, in the Basque Country and also in Europe”, before stressing that “The worst is yet to come”.
