El secretario general, Teodoro García Egea, en rueda de prensa


Holders of their appearance before the media:

  • The secretary general of the PP, Teodoro García Egea, praises the figure of Iturgaiz, as "a reference of constitutionalism in the Basque Country" and praises his "generosity at the service of the party" by agreeing to lead the candidacy in the Basque Country.
  • Remember that Iturgaiz was president of the Basque PP between 1996 and 2004 and highlights that when he headed the lists to the Basque Parliament in 1998 he obtained the best result under the acronym PP in the community, being the second most voted force.
  • Thanks and acknowledges the work of Alfonso Alonso in recent years in the Basque Country and in Spain after successfully developing his different responsibilities.
  • He believes that the coalition responds to a long-range political vision that involves the "reunification of the entire political space to the right of the most radical and exclusive left."
  • Understand that the left and Podemos may not like the coalition because it will give many "headaches to those who want Sanchez to continue ruling with Torra."
  • He believes that the PSOE has turned its back on moderation, centrality and especially in the Basque Country and in Catalonia. "He has turned his back on citizens as the very center of politics," he says.
  • He accuses the PSOE of not having "a project of its own" in the Basque Country and of becoming "a satellite of nationalism, a party that is the comparsa of the PNV" and of all nationalisms "throughout Spain".
  • Ask the party to focus on what unites us "beyond personalism, immediacy and other interests." "Our duty is to add to be stronger and the union with Citizens does not add, multiply," he emphasizes.
  • He affirms that the coalition with Citizens "is an exciting and winning, open and inclusive political project." "It is born of generosity, maximalist renunciations and understanding."
  • He believes that the coalition was born "after the explicit support of the regional presidents and the Executive Committee", and highlights that the same procedure has been followed in other cases such as Navarra Suma.
