PNV urges to “work seriously” to form a government and reiterates that it will vote “no” to Rajoy

EUROPA PRESS

PNV deputy Pedro Azpiazu has urged the “big parties” in the state to “seriously work” to form “the government” as soon as possible and has warned that “the citizens want a solution now.” Likewise, he reiterated that the position of the jeltzale formation will be that of ‘no’ in the first and in the second vote in the investiture session of Mariano Rajoy.

In an interview with Onda Vasca, collected by Europa Press, Azpiazu has warned that “the citizens want a solution now” because “it seems too much of a joke”. For this reason, she has indicated that “all the parties, at least those that have the solution that there is a government in their hands, have to get down to work seriously” so that the new Executive “becomes a reality as soon as possible . “

In his opinion, “the big parties are those that have in their hands the possibility of reaching or not the agreements that are necessary” and the PSOE, in addition, “has the key”. In this sense, he opined that “the movement that is taking place, the pressure of one and the other from its own militants, is because they know that it is the PSOE that has the key to governability.”

In any case, he insisted that “the sooner we are all truly aware and take steps for the solution, avoiding at all costs what must be avoided, which are new elections, the only thing they produce is going to be satiety and anger of citizens, much better. “

Thus, it has indicated that, as the latest CIS data point out, in the event of new elections, “there will be no changes” and, in addition, those “small changes, favorable to some and harmful to others, that may occur “are” irrelevant “. “The important thing is to have a government as soon as possible and, for that, we have to get down to work as soon as possible,” he reiterated.

For its part, the PNV, as reiterated by Pedro Azpiazu, is going to vote “not on the first vote and not on the second vote” for an investiture of Mariano Rajoy, which “is not yet known” if it will finally occur, but that, in his opinion, “after the charge” of the King “it will be inevitable”.

The Basque deputy has indicated that, although it is “logical that there are certain agreements prior” to the investiture, he has insisted that they must be done “quickly” so that “as soon as possible” a government is formed and the necessary steps are taken in relation to “the pending economic measures” that the executive complies with, such as the ‘spending ceiling’ or the general budgets of the State and those of the autonomous communities and municipalities, “conditioned by the spending ceiling”.

In this sense, he has alluded to the possibility that Spain will be fined if it does not present next year’s budget before October 15 and, although it has indicated that it could also happen that it receives “a zero fine”, if the EU “wants to, It has weapons to fine the State “for this matter.

BASQUE ELECTIONS

The Basque deputy has also considered that, after the autonomic elections of September 25, in the Basque Country “the pact culture will continue to function and there will be a fairly fast and stable government”. “Experience tells us that in Euskadi things tend to be different from the State, both in electoral results and in post-electoral behaviors,” he pointed out.

Azpiazu has indicated that the PNV aspires, in these elections, to “have the best possible result and govern alone”, but, “if it is not possible, it will be able to reach agreements and pacts with other formations to carry out a program that give stability and serve to solve the problems of citizens. “

Likewise, he has assured, in relation to the results that Podemos can obtain, that his party faces these elections “looking at his own” and has “the endorsement” of the Government that has led this legislature Iñigo Urkullu, which has been “very positive” .

NEPHASTIC BEHAVIOR FOR THE BASQUE COUNTRY

Finally, he referred to the position that will be maintained in the new Basque legislature if Mariano Rajoy is re-elected president and, in this sense, he pointed out that the PNV “has always been in favor of speaking with everyone and having stable and positive “, but Rajoy has had in the last four years a” disastrous behavior for Euskadi, with its recentralizations, its resources and so many other laws “.

“This does not change overnight. What we have to do is give ourselves time, and if indeed Mr. Rajoy wants to have relations with the PNV in the future, he knows that the path is one of non-recentralization, not throwing out behind the competitions … “, said the Basque deputy, who admitted that” it is not easy to change relations overnight when Rajoy’s behavior has been “so clear against the Basque Country”.

However, he specified that “policy behaviors tend to change rapidly when the need is tight” and, when there are not “sufficient majorities”, dialogue and agreements “are required”. “Hopefully there will be possibilities of agreement and of working together in the future. But, for that to happen, there has to be an important change that has not yet taken place and we believe that in the short term it will not take place,” indicated.

Among the “pending” issues that in his opinion would have to be addressed once the new government is launched, he has cited the transfers “after so many years without complying”, the layout of the ‘Basque Y’, which “has been delayed years and years “, or the negotiation of the new five-year quota.
