Carlos Garaikoetxea, first lehendakari of the Basque Government in democratic Spain, died on Monday at 87 from a heart attack in Pamplona. The Basque Government has declared three days of official mourning. A key figure in the Basque transition, he negotiated the Statute of Gernika and founded Eusko Alkartasuna after breaking with the PNV.
The current PNV mayor, in office since 2015, has announced he will not seek re-election in the May 2027 municipal elections following a party decision.

Nationalists called it a «lack of respect of this caliber» and «indecent». The controversy arises amid tensions over Statute reform and mandatory Basque in public service.
