In an interview with a radio station, he asked: Arnaldo Otegui: “Why was the agreement possible in the Congress of Deputies, in the Assembly of Navarre, and not in Iruña? Why not in the Basque Country? .

Leader Bildu’s logic is mind-boggling. If there was already an agreement to ease Navarre’s presidency Maria Chiviteand in the Congress, Bildu has the unwavering support of the government Sanchezwhy now be surprised that the Socialist Party of Navarre supports the vote of no confidence on expulsion Cristina Ibarrola (UPN), from the mayor’s office. What are we missing?

Of course, remembering what the PSN representative said in the Pamplona City Council, Elma Saiz (today Minister of Integration, Social Protection and Migration), May 30 (“The PSOE will not appoint the mayor of Pamplona Joseba Asiron (Bildu)”, the change of opinion is a little surprising due to its abruptness. This is the model implemented by the President, who also had special memories of Pamplona at the investiture session a month ago, when he snapped at a deputy in plenary from the UPN, Alberto Catalan: “With how many votes does UPN govern the Pamplona City Council?” The damned newspaper archive leaves this government at the feet of horses. But this is exactly why the Moncloa factory created the wild “mind change” card.

They now justify in Ferraz that this Copernican turn is not due to some secret agreement: “I vote for your investiture, you give me the city council of Pamplona”, but rather because the capital of Navarre, with the current mayor, was ungovernable. My God!

Morally, Sánchez put the Socialist Party on the same level as Bildu.

Don’t take us for fools again. This is about something else, and I mean the words of Otegi.

The PSOE’s whitewashing of Bildu has the number three architect in the party, Santos Cerdan (pure Navarrese, native of the town of Milagro), Brussels negotiator. He was the author of the agreement with the Nationalist Party in 2019 that allowed Maria Civita to govern Navarre. It was he who gave the green light to the coup in Pamplona, ​​of course, with the approval of the Prime Minister.

Once Sánchez decided to issue an amnesty in exchange for the votes of the seven juntas, any pre-23-J approach was no longer valid. The PSOE has changed since the general election: it is now an openly unscrupulous party. If it suits us, if it interests us, we do it. It is therefore useless to insist that Bildu and its leader Otegi have not yet condemned terrorism. There are no more red lines when it comes to agreeing with someone… except when it’s a PP.

What happened, despite the fact that the socialist headquarters reduced their importance to a “local issue”, is transcendental. Morally, Sanchez put the PSOE on the level of Bildu. Otegi did not hesitate to justify his party’s support for the general state budget: “We have 200 prisoners. And they must get out of prison. And if that means we have to vote on budgets, we will.” no problem on them.” Well, the PSOE does the same thing: “if we need Bildu’s votes, we negotiate with them and that’s it.” What is the difference from an ethical point of view?

There is a difference between the government’s pact with Puigdemont or the ERC and the pact with Bildo. In them we know the goals, while the agreements with the former political wing of ETA are secret and therefore we know where they begin, but we do not know where they end.

No matter how hard we try to believe the words of the new PSE leader, Eneko Anduesathat thanks to the votes of his Bildu party he will not govern Euskadi, the trajectory of the Socialist Party makes us skeptical about this. As Otegi says, why not?
