Podemos has reached an agreement with the PNV and the PSE-EE that guarantees it to be represented at the Table of the Basque Parliament despite having lost 5 deputies and having the same representation as the PP and Ciudadanos coalition . The agreement signed tonight between the three parties guarantees that once again the PNV and PSE-EE will control the governing body of the Chamber and will do so with a pact with the formation that the "left government" in Euskadi championed during the electoral campaign. The three signatory parties add 47 of the 75 parliamentarians and offer EH Bildu the second vice-presidency of the Basque Parliament.

PNV, PSE-EE and Podemos have closed the first agreement of the new legislature by announcing the distribution of the five members of the new Table of Parliament who will be elected in the plenary scheduled for next August 3 . The agreement will allow Bakartxo Tejeria to repeat as Speaker of the Parliament and Iñigo Iturrate will once again be the first secretary of the Mesa. In addition, the PSE-EE ensures for Txarli Prieto the second vice-presidency. According to this distribution that tracks the distribution of the last legislature (when Podemos had 11 parliamentarians), both the PP and Ciudadanos coalition and Vox will be left out of the Mesa.

The commitment acquired will materialize on August 3 since Podemos can vote blank in the voting for the election of the president and vice-presidents, so the majority of PNV and PSE-EE will guarantee the election of the proposed candidates, including the EH candidate. Bildu if he finally joins the deal. The two parties that aspire to reissue their governing coalition will provide the necessary votes during the election of the secretaries of the Mesa so that Podemos can be guaranteed the second secretariat of the Chamber.

The spokesmen of the parties signing the pact have alluded in the public explanation of the pact to the "challenges and threats" that arise at the start of the legislature. "The world crisis, the rise of the extreme right and the consequent questioning of values ​​such as freedom, democracy and political pluralism," are the risks alluded to in the signed agreement.
