Pablo Casado and Inés Arrimadas have appeared before the Gernika tree with all the symbols used by Basque nationalism in the investiture of the Lehendakaris . The leaders of PP and Citizens have posed next to the symbol of the Basque fueros, they have been honored with a zortziko of honor and the Gernikako Arbola and received in Basque by Carlos Iturgaiz, the coalition candidate who presents himself as the "only constitutionalist alternative "to the PNV and who has defended" yes to the Basque Country, yes to Spain ".

Married wanted to underline his confidence in Inés Arrimadas y Ciudadanos has turned to this electoral act with the presence of the team of its new leader and institutional representatives such as the Vice President of the Community of Madrid, Ignacio Aguado, and the Deputy Mayor of the capital, Begoña Villacís.

"I trust Inés Arrimadas, in her values, in her ideas. We did not even need to shake hands. We know we want the same thing," Casado highlighted in a scenario full of symbolism for both the PP and Citizens.

It is the first joint meeting of the leaders of the two center-right parties that, in principle, maintain the strength and validity of their government agreements in the rest of Spain.

The decisions taken by Citizens in Congress during the state of alarm and their willingness to negotiate with the Pedro Sánchez government on their first budgets for the legislature have flown over the most important electoral rally of the coalition led by Carlos Iturgaiz.

"We want to serve everyone, the Basque Country deserves more," Casado said while listening in the distance to the sound of a siren that has tried, unsuccessfully, to boycott a brilliant act in the Board House of Gernika. "We are foralists for being constitutionalists," the PP leader remarked in front of the Cs leadership with Arrimadas at his side.

The consolidation of this agreement and the specific reasons for its signing have also focused the intervention of Inés Arrimadas. "The union is strength. United in the Basque Country, the constitutionalists are stronger; it is more what we share than what separates us," said the leader of Ciudadanos, a party that had questioned the application of the Economic Agreement and the "cuponazo" negotiated between the PNV and the central governments.

"Constitutionalism in the Basque Country has no ceiling," Arrimadas stressed, recalling the electoral evolution of Cs in Catalonia from its birth to victory at the polls. Arrimadas y Casado, Casado y Arrimadas have valued the courage of constitutional politicians against ETA. "ETA no longer kills thanks to constitutionalism, others kept silent while they collected the nuts from those who shook the tree," Casado stressed.

The coalition of PP and Cs, punished in the polls, aspires to attract support from critical socialist voters with pacts such as Sánchez's with EH Bildu to repeal the labor reform but also from nationalists who question the PNV's support for the Executive of socialists and the United We can.
