The deputy of the Spanish government in Euskadi has emphasized that there is a real will to “further deepen the Basque self-government”.
The government delegate in the Basque Autonomous Community, Denis Itxaso, was of the opinion that: “No need to dramatize” the negotiations on the transfer of powers to Euskadi, because, he said, the Spanish government has “complete will” to deepen the Basque self-government.
Itxaso appeared before the media this Tuesday to take stock of the fulfillment of the Spanish government’s commitments in the autonomous community in the first half of this year.
He refers to the words of the Minister of Public Administration and Self-Government, Olatz Garamendic, last Friday when he showed his “skeptical attitude” about the real will of the Pedro Sánchez government to complete the Gernika Statute. Garamendi complained the “paralysis” of the transference process after the meeting he had with the Minister of Territorial Policy, Isabel Rodríguez, who described this meeting as “protocol”.
Itxaso has insisted on the “will” of the government of “Continue to delve into Basque self-government”something that is “beyond any doubt, as evidenced by the 11 subjects who were transferred,” including prisons and the Minimum Vital Income.
After stating that in this matter a step-by-step plan is being fulfilledhas the government delegate acknowledged that in some cases there are “problems of a technical and legal nature”, as the Gernika Statute is a “first generation” text that does not take into account issues that “were not even thought of” when it was adopted .
He explained that the negotiations to reach a transfer should not be compared to a match “between two rivals”, but rather the “result of the loyal and solidarity-based cooperation between two partners who want to come to an agreement”.
“It’s not about one win and the other lose,” emphasized Itxaso, recalling that it should not be ignored that there is a party “of the far right like Vox that is willing to appeal any decision made in this case.” case is taken. field”, reason why “it is of great importance that the agreements made full legal certainty“.
The government delegate has demanded: “weather” to make the technical teams work and for this reason, he stressed, there is no need to “dramatize” to show that there is no political will “because there is” and the government is “demonstrating”.
Petition for the nationalist left
On the other hand, the government deputy has pointed to the possibility that acts of glorification of violence may take place during the next patron saint festivities of towns and villages in the Basque Country, and has demanded that the nationalist left “not hurt” in public space for the victims of terrorism.
“In these new times, healing wounds, looking to the future and working towards coexistence also implies respect for the victims of terrorism,” he concluded.
