Sortu Elevates Xabi Iraola, Launches 'Herri Gogoa' Roadmap

The party pairs institutional engagement with a renewed call for social mobilization under the 'Herri gogoa' roadmap.

Overview

  • Iraola was elected coordinator general with 96% support from members, taking over from Arkaitz Rodríguez after eight years.
  • The roadmap sets three priorities: reform the Basque national project, reconnect politics with its transformative purpose, and build the bases of a Basque State.
  • Iraola framed the program as socialist, linking class, feminist and antiracist struggles to national liberation while urging a renewed antifascist commitment.
  • Sortu underscored gains from its post-2018 collaboration with the Spanish government, citing progress on prisoner rapprochements under Interior Minister Fernando Grande Marlaska.
  • The party pointed to a general strike called for March 17 and highlighted international delegations at the congress close from Palestine, Venezuela, Cuba, Uruguay, Colombia, Kurdistan, Ireland, Corsica, Catalonia and Galicia.
