  • Investidura.Bildu, to María Chivite: "Do not forget that you will preside over Navarra for us"

«With Bildu we will not agree. If you want I say it five times or twenty. With Bildu, I repeat it, we will not agree ». Pedro Sánchez was so blunt in his capacity as general secretary of the PSOE. María Chivite also emphasized in 2015, as leader of the PSN , her position radically contrary to Bildu being part of the Executive of the regional community.

Now Sanchez is president of the Government and Chivite president of Navarra and the branches have changed: EH Bildu's abstentions, decisive for both, "were not free, they had a price."

This is what they denounce from Navarra Suma - the coalition made up of UPN, PP and Ciudadanos, the first political force of the regional community - after Chivite has agreed with Bildu on Navarre budgets for the year 2020. «The true agreement», warns Javier Esparza , regional deputy and president of UPN, "is not written anywhere: the approach of ETA prisoners."

On Monday morning, the spokesman of the PSN in the Navarrese Parliament, Ramón Alzórriz , supported the proposal of the Basque Government to bring jails in Navarra and the Basque Country to more than two hundred prisoners linked to ETA: "There is a new scenario" and "we must comply with what the law marks". That same afternoon the budget agreement with Bildu was announced.

This coincidence, in UPN's opinion, shows that the pact with the abertzales "is not free." "Now," Esparza denounces, "those who pay tribute to ETA murderers are bleached and made immoral and indecent concessions. The penitentiary policy cannot be a chrome for the Cambalache ».

The president and spokesperson of UPN in the Foral Parliament says that María Chivite has never wanted to sit down and talk with them. "Neither to try to form a government nor to negotiate budgets."

After agreeing with Bildu, the complaint "excludes 40% of Parliament and more than 127,000 Navarrese." Navarra Suma, led by UPN, is the majority force in the regional community: it achieved 20 seats compared to 11 obtained by the PSN.

Esparza harshly criticizes the Budgets agreed by the tripartite Government of Chivite with the abertzales . He assures that they establish a worse fiscal position for Navarre in comparison with the citizens of the rest of Spain - «we are the ones that pay the most taxes» -; increase the annual cost of the councils by six million euros, which in this new stage have become 13, and include more than a hundred new positions of free designation; it contemplates the lowest investment aid of the last 15 years and increases, for example, the planned budget for language policy by half a million euros.

UPN has already announced the presentation of an amendment to the totality against the accounts agreed by Chivite, an amendment that, except surprise, will not prosper because Bildu's vote will tip the balance on the side of the tripartite government.

"Navarra," adds Esparza, "does not deserve a government that lies to him and Chivite is a lie; He has cheated the voters. It does now the same thing that criticized frontally from the opposition and during the electoral campaign. Its policy is a mere continuity of the one carried out by the four-party headed by Uxue Barkos . Its objective is to establish a sanitary cordon around Navarra Suma. Now the PSN is a prisoner of its partners ».
