Pradales Moves to Contain PNV–PSE Rift in Basque Government

The Lehendakari urges a return to the coalition’s signed program after the PSE warned the pact could be at risk.

Overview

  • Eneko Andueza warned the coalition would be at risk if the PNV pursues identity agreements with EH Bildu.
  • Deep disagreements center on euskera requirements in public hiring and on whether a new statute should reference a right to decide.
  • After court rulings deemed some language requirements excessive, PNV and EH Bildu advanced proposals to shield the regulatory framework, which the PSE opposed.
  • Sharp exchanges spread across regional and local institutions, with PNV leaders criticizing Andueza and PSE officials defending him and calling for respectful politics.
  • Speaking in Madrid, Imanol Pradales called to safeguard institutional stability and focus on the governing pact, and he pressed Spain’s PP to choose moderation over confrontation.
