The flank with Esquerra has been resolved after the agreement on the new regional financing, and Pedro Sánchez has just opened a new front with one of his most loyal partners, the PNV. And all this on the eve of a key meeting this Friday between a delegation from the Basque Government and another from the Central Government, in the so-called Mixed Commission for Transfers.
What it's about is completing the pending transfers that the party led by Aitor Esteban is demanding, and which has been warning its members for weeks about the real risk of an early election if Sánchez fails to break the parliamentary deadlock in which the PSOE finds itself.This new threat has been given voice by the lehendakari's right-hand man, Imanol Pradales, and first deputy lehendakari, Ibone Bengoetxea. "Not arriving with all the guarantees to finalize the transfers as they were signed would lead us to a different institutional and political scenario," she warned. Sources from the PNV acknowledge to ElConstitucional that the discontent with the PSOE is "enormous and growing."
