The leader of the Navarrese socialists, María Chivite, took office yesterday as president of the Regional Government with the assistance of José Luis Ábalos, who in addition to the Minister of Development is the secretary of the PSOE Organization. The acquiescence, when not the impulse, of Ferraz to the pact that has boosted Chivite means crossing a red line to the extent that it approves the proetarras as a normalized political actor . The fact of coming to power thanks to the support via Bildu's abstention breaks the unity of constitutionalism, whose acronyms had so far been firm when it comes to excluding ETA's political heirs from the ordinary game framework. Pedro Sánchez, breaking the line set at the time by José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero and Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, leads Navarra to an Executive who, necessarily, will be conditioned not only by parties of doubtful constitutional commitment -like Geroa Bai or Podemos- but by a training led by someone with the criminal record of Arnaldo Otegi.

The formation of the new government integrates members of the PSN, but also others with a marked nationalist tendency , in line with the postulates of the partners of Sánchez and Chivite. It is the case of Itziar Gómez, a former batasuna who struggled with the police in the chupinazo and who enters the Regional Executive on behalf of Geroa Bai, a coalition of which the PNV is part. The openly radical profiles of the Navarrese Government constitute a waste for the historical trajectory of a party like the PSOE. And, given the lack of a stable majority, they throw Chivite to depend on Bildu's blackmail throughout the legislature , as the spokeswoman for this party reminded him in the investiture debate. And, all this, in a context in which the legatary political party of the terrorist band continues to justify and even encourage the disgusting receptions to released ETAs, a mockery for the victims of ETA consented to by the administrations.

It is lacerating and deeply worrying for the nation that the PSOE lends itself to govern by the hand of parties that openly seek the liquidation of national sovereignty. Reaching power by relying on nationalists and the radical left, in addition to the abertzales , is politically unpresentable and morally unacceptable to any democrat committed to the unity of Spain. First, because it does not respect the electoral result: Navarra Adds almost double in seats to the Socialists; and, second, because it anchors the PSOE in the euskaldunization path of parties that embrace the fourth transitory provision of the Constitution, which opens the door to an eventual annexation of the Foral Community to the Basque Country. Navarra runs the risk of becoming, after Catalonia, a challenge to national sovereignty . If such an extreme occurs, the PSOE would be co-responsible.
