Otegi Renews Push for Joint EH BilduPNV List in Spain’s Next Election

The EH Bildu leader calls for negotiations on a minimum-program national list after the plan won internal backing last February.

Overview

  • He reiterated at an assembly in Bilbao a proposal to run with the PNV in a single candidacy for the next general elections.
  • He proposed a broader slate that could also include Sumar, Podemos or ERC, noting EH Bildu already teams with Catalan parties for the Senate.
  • He framed 2026 as a key year and said a general election appears increasingly likely from the party’s perspective.
  • He emphasized agreement on shared points despite differences in strategy, outlining a minimum platform centered on the right to decide, territoriality and protection of the Basque language.
  • The initiative remains a proposal under discussion, and the PNV previously rejected similar overtures according to earlier public statements by its leaders.
