Euskaraz irakurri: Foru Gobernua “lanean” dabil, Volkswageneko baterien muntatzea Nafarroan gera dadin
The President of Navarra, María Chivitehas warned that the request of the workers that Volkswagen Navarra does not outsource battery assembly for the next electric vehicle “it is a business decision”, but he has assured that his Government “works” so that this process is carried out in Navarra “and generates hundreds of jobs”.
She said this in statements to journalists after speaking as general secretary of the PSN in an act with municipal candidates from her party, where, when asked about the criticism of the leader of the position, Javier Esparza (UPN) about his efforts with VW, Chivite regretted that Esparza “is always playing the worse the better and using that future of the plant as an instrument to attack the Government”.
In this regard, he stressed, “first of all, that the future of the Volkswagen plant is guaranteed because the manufacture of the electric vehicle is coming”, something that “is a fact and a reality”, he said to send a message to Javier Esparza: “To the doomsayer, say that his omens are not fulfilled but those of the Government itself”.
Meanwhile, she recalled that she herself will travel this month together with the president of the VW plant in Navarra and representatives of the automotive cluster to ask the European Commission for a delay in the application of the Euro7 standard, which will slow down production in 2025 to adapt it to the mandatory lower polluting emissions from passenger cars.
“We are going to ask for a relaxation to match this necessary transition towards sustainable mobility with the guarantee of employment”, as it coincides with the lower production in VW Navarra due to the preparation of the plant for the manufacture in 2026 of the electric vehicle. “We will ensure that this announced production valley is minimized with a relaxation of Euro 7”, he wished.
