EH Bildu insists that there will be no agreement with the Government to allow the accounts to go forward if it does not provide a sufficient starting for pensioners

This year, 2018 is the year of the pensioners. Their mobilizations have led to a revolution, with a great capacity of influence on political decisions: his first great triumph, the revaluation of pensions linked to the CPI. Now, without meaning to, they can condition the approval of budgets basques or take them to the extension.

If EH Bildu meets your warning, there will only be accountable if there are items sufficient to supplement the pension basque: “Or there are games enough for pensioners or no budget,” insisted yesterday the parliamentary Maddalen Iriarte, giving a semblance of reality to the possibility of an extension budget.

The accounts trading enters the week as decisive. Today, Monday the counselor Azpiazu will meet with the PP, although the meeting will be more formal than otherwise, as the pdp have made it clear by active and passive that doesn’t fit into their plans to approve the accounts.

Unmarked Elkarrekin we Can, which has been “exhausted,” the negotiation, the Executive is only left to the option of the two abstentions that offers you EH Bildu. Iriarte was ratified yesterday that the latest proposal of Azpiazu is not “enough” and urged the Government to “pick and choose”: “The PNV has to decide if you want a few budgets that address the needs of the people or if they are going to extend a few budgets that they themselves made a pact with the PP. The basque Government must choose”, he said.

Iriarte responded this way to the president of the PNV, Andoni Ortuzar, that the sabbath was located to the coalition of pro-sovereignty to “choose between helping the pensioners, or the PP for that do not have public accounts”.

The latest offer put on the table by Pedro Azpiazu supposed to negotiate with EH Bildu the target of 48 million in 2019 and a further 32 million in 2020, and offered to raise the lowest pensions by a general increase in the Income Guarantee of 3.5% over the next two years, compared to 2.5% that was expected. This increase would affect all recipients, and activate a campaign already planned to give out to pensioners with the lowest pensions, the possibility of complement through the social aid of the basque Government. The Executive insists that through the RGI is the only way that is available to complete the pensions, as it does not have jurisdiction over these benefits. “It is a question of will”, replicated from EH Bildu. Remember that compared to the 48 million offer Azpiazu, EH Bildu asked for new games, for 440 million.

The spokesperson of the basque Government, Josu Erkoreka, also referred yesterday to the bargaining budget. Erkoreka said that the Executive expects of EH Bildu an answer “according” to the content “intensely social” of the bid budget, which has made him the Government. After participating in the tribute to the gudari Jose Moreno to meet a hundred years, considered that the offer made to EH Bildu is the “clearest and most forceful in the last decade to improve the living conditions of the people with the lowest incomes, through the RGI and employment policies”. “If the budget of the basque Government was already intensely social in comparison with the institutions of our environment, now is more social still, it is a return of extra nut,” he said. Erkoreka said that the coalition nationalist will now have to discuss “in depth” to such an offer, but warned that it is “very difficult” for the Government to go further.

To heal in health, from the Executive vasco, different counselors, and also the president, have pointed out several times that an extension would not be a “catastrophe”.
