Esteban Puts PNV at the Center, Rules Out Joint List With Bildu and Sets Terms for a New Statute

At Alderdi Eguna, he pairs a centrist message with a December assembly to update party rules.

Overview

  • He conditions any agreement on a revised Basque autonomy framework with EH Bildu on a “real leap” in national recognition, arbitration and external presence.
  • He rejects forming a joint congressional list if Madrid calls elections, underscoring policy gaps with Bildu on infrastructure, fiscal policy, health, security and external action.
  • He presents the PNV as Euskadi’s stabilizing force, contrasting its “tradition” of building and cohesion with what he describes as Bildu’s disruptive approach.
  • He criticizes the PP and its secretary-general Miguel Tellado, accusing them of insulting the PNV and denying Basque plural identity.
  • He announces a General Assembly on 13 December in Vitoria to renew party statutes as part of a push to modernize the organization.
