• Municipal Navarrese Socialists stage a political fight with Bildu to protect Pedro Sánchez
  • Results 28-M EH Bildu threatens the leadership of the PNV after surpassing him in Vitoria, drawing in San Sebastián and surpassing him in Guipúzcoa

"When do we stop taking people for dumb?", asked this morning the general coordinator of EH Bildu Arnaldo Otegi when he was traveling by car from Elgoibar (Guipúzcoa) to Bilbao. The question he had asked his companion on the trip to the capital of Biscay was repeated on Radio Euskadi to verify the pacts between EH Bildu and the PSOE of Pedro Sánchez. Otegi recalled that "we have supported the Government of Navarra and the Government [of Sánchez] for four years" and stressed that "we have been doing things together for four years in Iruña (Pamplona, in Basque).

Arnaldo Otegi wanted to convey tranquility when the negotiations are activated in Euskadi and Navarra that can leave EH Bildu without the mayor of Vitoria -where Rocío Vitero was the most voted- and in the General Assemblies of Guipúzcoa. The options for Joseba Asiron, second in the polls after Cristina Ibarrola (UPN), to be mayor of Pamplona with the support of the PSOE of Navarra are also deflated.

"When does recess end?", Otegi insisted in his metaphor about the child treatment given, in his opinion, by the PSOE to citizens after the constant agreements it has maintained with Bildu since 2018.

For Otegi, it is "scandalous" that the PNV and the PSE-EE "make a holy alliance against EH Bildu" with "the PP of Ayuso" to snatch the Provincial Council of Guipúzcoa and the Mayor's Office of Vitoria.

In addition, he has assured that they will not renounce that Joseba Asirón is mayor of Pamplona, and has said that we will have to see "what happens" with Chivite in the Navarrese Parliament, if they continue to "flagellate" EH Bildu in public after agreeing with them for four years, although their intention, in principle, is to prevent the right from governing.

The Abertzale leader has wondered if "there will be a holy alliance against EH Bildu or will be sensible enough to understand that the country has serious enough problems to enable large agreements with everyone" and agree disagreements.

In his opinion, these past elections have been "a turning point and someone is going to be wrong if he makes wrong readings of blaming everyone, except certain parties." "Are you going to be able to take away the Diputación de Guipúzcoa with the PP of Ayuso, to take away Durango, to which none other than Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, the head of Bildu, came to say 'we must prevent that in Durango government EH Bildu', and in which Vox has withdrawn from the electoral contest to favor the PP?", Asked.
