Esteban wants the PNV « to put the batteries » to face a « new time » | News from the Basque Country

Aitor Esteban has attended this Saturday the General Assembly of the most important PNV of his political career. Tomorrow will be his great day. The militancy of the party will proclaim him president of the PNV, The tenth from the democratic restoration, and will take the relief of Andoni Ortuzar at a relevant time for the Basque nationalists. The next penis leader has expressed his desire that the party « puts the batteries » to « face the new time. »

Esteban has participated in the first day of the IX General Assembly of the PNV, held in the Frontón Atano III of San Sebastián, in which the 700 militants have approved the five presentations that constitute from this moment The political, ideological and organizational catechism of Basque formation. The affiliation had presented almost 11,000 amendments to the five texts, of which this Saturday a thousand have been discussed and approved.

It is a “special” assembly for Esteban, until now spokesman for the party in Congress, who will assume the mission of directing a party that wants to give a total image of its new leader and proposes in this way forget the clash that occurred with Ortuzar during the internal electoral process. Esteban also has the task of electorally revitalizing training that has begun to give symptoms of weakness in the face of EH Bildu’s thrust in the last appointments with the polls.

The budding leader wants a game « prepared for the coming years. » In 2027, elections will be held again to the Basque municipalities and the three deputations. This Sunday will take the address with a totally renewed team. The new Euskadi Buru Batzar (EBB) will have Manu Tejada, Maitane iPiñazar and Andoni Busquets as the president’s main people.

The PNV launches this stage by reinforcing its commitment to « institutionalize the right to decide » as « a strategic step towards self -determination », as stated in the presentation entitled Euskadi, nation in Europe. The sovereign objective of « being a nation of full right in Europe » is not abandoned through a « gradual process » and with the involvement of Spain and France. The presentation advocates « not mimetically cloning models of the past » and defends the European recognition of the economic concert and the Navarrese agreement, as well as cooperation mechanisms such as macro -regions.

Once the phase of ETA’s violence and terrorism is surpassed, the PNV recalls that « the political actors who supported him », in reference without quoting EH Bildu, « have an ethical reflection on their career », as well as the « recognition of the damage caused » to the victims and society in general.

The internal changes of greater draft are collected in the text entitled A democratic organization, that affect the operation model that the PNV wants to implement inwards with the purpose of not losing voters. The central objective is to « activate militancy » after verifying that the participation of the bases in this last electoral process has been scarce: it would be between 10% and 15% of the affiliation (25,000 people).

The PNV wants to reconnect with society, they argue, for which they believe it is necessary to improve their relations with social and business movements. « You have to humanize the party from empathy and closeness, » says the presentation. The document affects the need to reduce the internal bureaucracy of the party, improving the management of the municipal boards. One of the objectives is to shorten internal processes. To do this, they propose to strengthen their ethical and good governance system, « ensuring transparency, legality, prevention of bad practices and conflict management. »

These changes have as the basis the finding that the PNV must « reaffirm referentiality and leadership » in the Basque Country. In the document entitled A party at the service of its people The following is said: « We must offer a close political project, service to society, with proposals to deal with the challenges ahead and with empathy to attend to citizens’ concerns. From a centrality position and as a transverse and humanistic political party. »
