Overview
- Speaking at EH Bildu's Assembly in Bilbao, Arnaldo Otegi restated his call for a single Basque candidacy for the next Spanish general elections.
- He described a national popular list built on a limited platform focused on shared priorities rather than full policy alignment.
- Otegi said the slate could include the PNV as well as Sumar, Podemos, and ERC, noting existing cooperation with ERC in the Senate.
- He argued the initiative seeks to overcome territorial division and allow Euskadi to present a unified voice in Spanish institutions.
- The PNV has already dismissed the idea, leaving the coalition's feasibility uncertain as EH Bildu readies its campaign with a left‑laborist, Nordic‑style profile to challenge the PNV.
