BILBAO, 13 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The PNV spokesperson in the Congress of Deputies, Aitor Esteban, has urged the president of the central Executive, Pedro Sánchez, to "fulfill" the commitments made in the investiture pact and has set March, "at the latest" , the arrival of three new skills.

In statements made in the newly formed municipality of Usansolo, the Jeltzale representative was accompanied by the president of the Bizkai Buru Batzar, Itxaso Atutxa; the general deputy of Bizkaia, Elixabete Etxanobe; the provincial deputy for Infrastructure and Territorial Development and candidate for lehendakari, Imanol Pradales; Senator Nerea Ahedo, and Iñigo Bilbao, president of the Usansolo Municipal Organization, in addition to a representation of members of municipality number 113 of Bizkaia.

In his speech, Esteban urged the central government to continue "fulfilling" the commitments agreed and signed with the PNV in the investiture pact in relation to the three transfers that should be materialized in the coming weeks under the aforementioned agreement: Railways ; Homologation and Validation of Foreign Degrees and Studies and Reception of Immigration".

As he stressed, the signed agreement set a deadline of three months to materialize the transfer and he assessed that "things are very advanced and worked on." Furthermore, he has warned that for the jeltzale formation this issue represents "a priority and an assessment of whether or not this legislature is worth it."

"Whether there is a will or not, we are going to see it between February and March. We are moving forward and when I say that we are going to be pending, it is that we are going to work on it... What is signed is in three months. Let's assume that by mid-March at the latest "This should be done if there is political will because there are many things that have already been cleared," he stressed.

Likewise, the Jeltzale leader has claimed that in the first two months of the legislature "it has become clear" that the PNV "is acting with responsibility, loyalty and high-mindedness", and has demanded reciprocity from the central Executive.

The jeltzale formation has also recalled that Usansolo was registered in the Registry of Local Entities last December after the agreement reached by the Basque Group from the central Government to introduce into the Local Regime Bases Law the reduction of the threshold to 4,000 inhabitants. minimum population to become an independent municipality.

In this sense, Esteban has affirmed that the nationalist formation has welcomed "with great satisfaction" the compliance in time and form of this point included in the investiture agreement signed between the president of the EBB of the PNV, Andoni Ortuzar, and that of the Spanish Government. , Pedro Sánchez. "It was not simple", he stressed.

Representative Jeltzale has also celebrated the fulfillment of other agreements that the PNV had reached with the central Executive, such as the extension of the relief contract for the industry, the agreement of new taxes on banking and energy or the implementation of investment incentives strategic in ecological transition.

Regarding the prevalence of Basque agreements, another of the commitments that the central Government acquired regarding the jeltzale formation and that declined last Wednesday after the non-validation of the Decree-Law on Labor, the spokesperson for the Basque Group regretted that did not go ahead but has stated that he has "full conviction" that Sánchez's Executive will include it in the next legal modification on labor matters. "We will not forget it and it will be a reality sooner rather than later," he added.

Furthermore, he has reiterated the PNV's call to Pedro Sánchez to stop using an "extraordinary" figure such as the Decree-Law. "I hope that the Government has learned that it cannot continue governing on the basis of decree-law. The only way is dialogue and agreement," he added.

On the other hand, he has defended that the central Executive knows that when "important things" have to be negotiated, the base person it has to negotiate with is the PNV, and has warned that "whatever the PNV does not want is not going to work out." .

"The PNV already has quite a long experience in Madrid and when it negotiates it tries to finalize things and knows that agreements must then be pursued and worked on. Let any other group show me which one has been more effective," he added.

Regarding the duration of the current legislature in the State, Esteban has indicated that from the beginning he already indicated that it would be "very complicated" for it to last four years.

In this sense, he has assured that the key will be the Budgets in such a way that if the Executive draws up the Accounts "there is a legislature for two years", although "with little legislative production."

"If the budget is not released, this is over and by the end of this year, by the end, the legislature would have ended and new elections would have to be called," he predicted.
