  • Announcement Idoia Mendia gives way to Eneko Andueza at the head of a PSE settled under the shadow of the PNV in Euskadi

Soraya Morla

, former Basauri councilor, declares herself a "sanchista" and proudly shows that it was she and her group who, on April 17, 2017, organized the only internal act of Pedro Sánchez in Euskadi when he was attempting his political resurrection. Four years later, Morla once again opposes the leadership of the Basque PSOE by presenting his candidacy to the general secretary. But it is not only willing to compete with

Eneko Andueza

but also advocates normalizing

the pacts with EH Bildu

in the

Basque Country,

as Sánchez has already done in Navarra and in the Congress of Deputies in

Madrid

.

Soraya Morla formalized

her candidacy

at the PSE headquarters in

Bilbao,

aware that the successor to

Idoia Mendia

will be Eneko Andueza. A relief gestated for almost a year when Mendia transferred the secretary general of the PSOE and Spanish president Pedro Sánchez who would not stand for reelection. The Basque socialist leaders, in the hands of the PSOE Organization secretary

Santos Cerdán,

agreed to replace Mendia following the same parameters used in 2014 in the goodbye of

Patxi López

.

Morla, with the rest of the approximately 5,200 members of the PSE-EE, know that Andueza has the backing of the Bilbao and Ferraz directorates. Even the PNV spokesman in Congress Aitor Esteban showed his surprise yesterday on Radio Euskadi that Mendia has practically appointed his successor despite the fact that internal primaries still have to be held formally that will conclude on November 21 when the XI PSE-EE congress elect the new secretary general of the Basque Socialists. Andueza, who formally presented his candidacy last Friday, is committed to continuing the pacts with the PNV that Mendia recovered in 2015 with a first agreement to co-govern in councils and municipalities. A year later,The Socialists were recovering the alliance with the PNV also in the Basque Government with the double objective of influencing the day-to-day management and strengthening their own internal structure, greatly weakened by the leadership crisis in the PSOE.

Andueza, candidate promoted by Mendia, ensures "loyalty" with the PNV

Mendia steps aside at the head of the party but will continue as vice-

lehendakari

until 2024 in a bicephaly that copies the model used by the PNV since

Carlos Garaikoetxea

was appointed lehendakari in 1980 with

Xabier Arzalluz

as president of the PNV.

Andueza, very critical of the new status that the nationalists activate and maintain based on their electoral interests, defends "loyalty" with the agreements signed.

And that is where the few critical voices in the Socialist Party of Euskadi demonstrate to denounce, as Morla did yesterday, the loss of the "essence" of the socialist proposal that led Patxi López to Ajuria Enea in 2009.

"It is Machiavellian to accept the support of EH Bildu when you need them as in Navarra, in the Congress of Deputies or in Irun and not open a debate on a left-wing pact in Euskadi," says Morla.

"The PNV and the PSE-EE have little or nothing to do with their policies," the Biscayan candidate warned during her introduction to the media against the discourse of the socialist apparatus that underlines how Urkullu's government program reproduces great part of the electoral program with which Idoia Mendia ran for the Lehendakari in 2020. Bittersweet elections in which the PSE obtained only 122,248 votes, far from the expectations of the impulse that was expected under the presidency of Sánchez, but with the 10 parliamentarians who they guarantee an absolute majority to the bipartisan with the PNV.

Urkullu pampers prison officials

Agreement 'in extremis' with ACAIP-UGT.

The Basque Government and the ACAIP-UGT union yesterday signed an agreement to regulate the working conditions of the 700 workers who, as of October 1, will become Basque civil servants.

More seniority and pension fund

.

The Basque Government raises the supplement for three years to 200 euros per month.

In addition, prison officers will have a public provident fund equal to 2% of their annual salary.

Those over 45 years of age exempt from Basque

.

Officials over 45 years of age will be exempt from learning Basque, but this language will be a labor merit in Basque prisons.
