Overview
- Elkarrekin Podemos has reached a deal with PNV and PSE to pass Gipuzkoa’s 2026 accounts, according to local reporting and party statements.
- The agreement is framed by regional outlets as consolidating a new pattern of cross‑party pacts that leaves EH Bildu outside key deals despite its 2023 lead in Gipuzkoa.
- Podemos spokesperson Miren Echeveste says the pact completes a leftward shift in the provincial administration following this year’s fiscal reform.
- In Álava, Ramiro González’s executive has intensified talks with Elkarrekin Araba to secure backing and avoid extending last year’s budget.
- Negotiations in Álava hinge on Podemos’s demand for a new labor agreement in private care residences, citing geriatric care workers earning about €600 less than counterparts in Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa.
