The Basque and Spanish governments have not been able to close the agreement to transfer the management of the Minimum Living Incomedespite the fact that the lehendakari, Iñigo Urkullu, had shown hope of closing the deal at the meeting this Wednesday.

“In any case, the Minister of Public Governance and Self-Government maintains the hope that an agreement can finally be closed,” he said.

Garamendi reiterated last Friday that the Basque Government “is not going to allow any transfer to measures”, after assuring that at the moment “the agreement is closer to the characteristics that this transfer must have”, although he has acknowledged that there are still ” aspects to shield”.

The technical presentation for the transfer of the IMV is a bilateral forum that discusses the “technical differences” between both executives with the aim of closing a definitive agreement, from which an economic assessment of the competition must be made to close the transfer in the Mixed Commission between both governments.
