An electoral advance does not condition the negotiation of transfers



The Basque Government has affirmed today that a possible advance of the general elections "is not conditioning today" the work in the negotiation of the pending transferences to obtain the integral fulfillment of the Statute of Gernika.

The spokesman of the Basque Executive, Josu Erkoreka, has remarked that the competence to call the elections corresponds exclusively to the President of the Government and has indicated that the Basque Executive does not want to enter into conjectures and speculations on possible advances.

"This possibility is not currently conditioning the work we have been developing in the Basque Government to advance the full compliance of the Statute and advance all transfers that may be carried out," he assured at the press conference after the meeting of the Government council.

The Basque Government spokesman added that a new meeting of the technical paper of the Mixed Transfer Commission is being held in Madrid to discuss the transfer to the Basque Country of the section of the AP-1 between Armiñón (Álava) and the province of Burgos, and of the two Alonsotegi-Barakaldo and Bilbao-Basauri railway lines.

He acknowledged that on this occasion some issues related to the calculation of the cost of these transfers are "somewhat more advanced" than last week, when an agreement could not be closed, so he has been hopeful that a pact can be reached .

In addition, explained that the purpose of both executives is that as soon as an agreement is reached at that meeting convened the Mixed Transfer Commission for the transfer of pending matters and can take "one more step" after "seven years of drought absolute compliance with the Statute ".

The Basque Government has set the pending transfers in 37 and the regional Parliament urged the Government of Pedro Sanchez last June to present a work schedule to materialize them, giving a "prominent place" to the prisons and the management of the economic regime of the Social Security.
