Bilbao (EFE).- The president of Euzkadi Buru Batzar (EBB), Andoni Ortuzar, has presented the PNV in Bilbao as the alternative to the “political circus” and economic uncertainty.
Ortuzar has taken part in the public presentation of Juan Mari Aburto’s candidacy for re-election as mayor of Bilbao, which has had the foral candidates and the assistance of the lehendakari, Iñigo Urkullu; and the deputy general of Bizkaia, Unai Rementeria; among others.
The president of the PNV has considered that in the face of the “ennui” by the “political noise and the media circus around politics” the Basques can have the “certainty” that the PNV is “at their service and prepared”, also to cope with the “complexity” of an economic situation marked by uncertainty.
Ortuzar has called on the public to “reflect on whose hands the institutions should be”. “On 28M, for things to go well for the Basque Country, it is necessary for the PNV to go well,” he said.
street campaign
The president of the EBB has urged the candidates to “step on the street and the sidewalk” and commit to the next four years being “at the service and working for the people” because “PNV and people are the same.”
The affiliates have been asked to campaign door to door because the media will focus in May on the large state parties and the PNV “does not appear” in the media and also does not carry out a “tweet and tambourine” policy, we only respond when They give us a cake ”, he pointed out in reference to his scuffle with Pablo Iglesias last week.
Ortuzar has supported the policies to support companies because “of course you have to create wealth, but then distribute it well” to have a cohesive society, “that advances with the people who have come, the Basques of a new type”.
“We want a free Euskadi, of free men and women, it is the ideology of the PNV and we want to continue being the party of the people, of the street and that makes the country advance”, he concluded.
Aburto and the surveys
Aburto has also appealed to the work of the militancy in the campaign given the risk of demobilization posed by some polls that give “everything phenomenal”, some even point to the absolute majority of the PNV in Bilbao.
“Don’t believe them, the only valid survey is the one on May 28,” he asked them.
Thus, he has warned the candidate who occupies the 15th position on the list (the one with the absolute majority) that if he wants to be part of the Corporation he will have to “work hard from now on”.
Aburto, who has recovered the “red notebook” in which he collects the suggestions of the residents of all the neighborhoods and which was already the central element of his campaign 4 years ago, has called for a “sandals campaign”.
The candidate for re-election has affirmed that economic development and social cohesion are “the two sides of the same coin, without one the other is worthless”.
For her part, the candidate for general deputy of Bizkaia, Elixabete Etxanobe, said that the Provincial Council is “committed” to Bilbao because “if Bilbao is doing well, Bizkaia is doing well”.
Etxanobe has maintained that the Provincial Council, and the rest of the institutions, in the face of economic uncertainty must “provide stability and security, without selling smoke” to the citizens.
