The Basque Government will begin on Wednesday to negotiate budget support with the opposition

Pedro Azpiazu will meet with EH Bildu, Elkarrekin Podemos-IU and the PP to try to agree on “reasonable social improvements and sectoral policies” in the area of ​​negotiation of the 2022 Basque budget project.

The Basque Government will begin talks with the opposition next Wednesday to obtain support for its budgets for next year, despite the fact that the groups that support it, PNV and PSE-EE, have an absolute majority in Parliament.

Sources of the opposition groups have confirmed that the Minister of Finance and Economy, Pedro Azpiazu, will meet with EH Bildu, Elkarrekin Podemos-IU and the PP after the councilors appeared in the Chamber this week to expose the fundamental lines of the accounts of each Department.

Precisely at the opening of the appearances, Azpiazu reiterated his invitation to the opposition to agree on “reasonable social improvements and sectoral policies” in the field of negotiation of the 2022 Basque budget project, which he has said has as “hallmark “public investment.

The Basque Government’s draft budget for 2022 amounts to 13,107.8 million euros and foresees investments worth 1605, amounts to which reconstruction funds that may come from the EU will be added.

Although the Basque Government has guaranteed the approval of the project, the lehendakari, Iñigo Urkullu, has offered on several occasions open a negotiation to expand this support, of which, as Azpiazu announced, Vox is out.

Of course, the same day that the bill entered Parliament for processing, he clarified that it should be a “realistic” negotiation, in accordance with regional powers and “without vetoes” or exclusions.

Up to now, eh Bildu has limited itself to announcing that they will carefully analyze the project and that they are willing to negotiate to “achieve broad agreements”, although its parliamentary spokesman, Maddalen Iriarte, warned the Executive that it is up to him to show that he knows how to be “at the height of what the circumstances demand and being able to open a sincere dialogue beyond moving three or four games “.

The spokeswoman for Together We Can-IU In Parliament, Miren Gorrotxategi, this week, showed his willingness to negotiate in order to “reverse the cuts in social matters” that, in his opinion, contain the project, with which he has been very critical.
