• 10-N. Citizens dismiss their 'number two' in the Basque Country for negotiating a coalition with the PP behind the leadership
  • Proposal. Citizens rejects Álvarez de Toledo's offer for "the backpacks of corruption" of the PP

Javier Gómez (Vitoria, 1982) yesterday received the call from Fran Hervías in which he informed him of his dismissal as Secretary of Organization in the Basque Country after having sent to Madrid a principle of agreement with the Basque PP to form an electoral coalition also in Euskadi . Gómez, who continues as coordinator of Cs in Álava , assumes his dismissal, but warns that "Citizens have forgotten Euskadi" and fears that the party of Albert Rivera will continue to lose affiliates and voters. "We have not hidden," warns Gomez that denies any kind of offer to the PP so that militants of the Rivera formation join the PP in Euskadi.

"The source of information on what we have done is ourselves," Javier Gómez told EL MUNDO in full hangover for his surprising dismissal with number two of Cs in Euskadi. According to his version, a proposal for a negotiated electoral coalition with the Basque PP, based on the document signed by Albert Rivera, Pablo Casado and Javier Esparza (president of UPN), was transferred to Madrid from the Basque Country leadership. Navarra Sum.

A "10-point decalogue" in which the existence of the Economic Concert and the Quota is recognized in the same terms as in Navarra the Amejoramiento Law is assumed. "The problem is not the document, but we are going against one of the strategic axes of the party," said Gomez, which was the message conveyed by Hervías when communicating the loss of confidence.

Two deputies at play

A decision that breaks any possibility of entente between the two formations in Euskadi and that hinders the objective of the Basque PP to recover two deputies in Álava and Vizcaya that would have achieved on April 28 if it had formed an alliance with Cs similar to Navarra Suma. In the last general elections, the Basque PP lost its representative to Congress in Álava by 300 votes, which was attended by Javier Maroto, for the benefit of the candidate of EH Bildu. Also in Biscay, Basque PP and Cs would have obtained together a deputy who, without coalition, benefited Podemos Euskadi.

Gomez reiterates that "we have always been loyal" but recognizes the involution of the party in Euskadi. "Citizens have forgotten Euskadi and this is not now," denounces after almost two years at the head of a completely amateur organization and has less than 200 members. "The results are adverse because Citizens have invested throughout Spain except in Euskadi," Gomez lamented on the eve of a new election date that Cs arrives in the Basque Country with enormous difficulties to develop their own lists.
