Self-government

Aitor Esteban, PNV president, demanded greater effort from militants at Aberri Eguna in Bilbao to stop EH Bildu overtaking them in 2027 elections and undoing Basque self-government. Lehendakari Imanol Pradales harshly criticized the pro-independence left and demanded more powers from the central government. EH Bildu, in Pamplona, called for deep institutional change.
