The proximity of the Basque elections, which will be held this coming Sunday, has changed the script today for Alberto Núñez Feijóo on his tour of Catalonia. The president of the PP has positioned himself in a Basque electoral key and after EH Bildu's refusal to consider ETA a terrorist organization, he has proposed to the PSOE a signature before a notary to break the pacts with the nationalist coalition and not to sign new alliances unless The formation condemns the murders of ETA and helps to clarify those that remain to be solved.
Feijóo has denounced the "lack of ethics and morals" of the socialists, especially after Bildu's candidate, Pello Otxandiano, avoided considering ETA a terrorist organization. For this reason, the popular leader has indicated that he awaits the Socialist Party in "the next few days at any notary" to sign this commitment. A commitment that from the outset would mean, as he has said, breaking the support that the Abertzales gave him to achieve the presidency of the Government, as well as the agreement in Navarra and in the Pamplona City Council.
Obviously, Feijóo's political statement has no meaning, but the popular ones are trying to take advantage of the controversy, after the Government yesterday criticized Bildu's position and the socialist candidate in the Basque Country, Eneko Andueza, stressed that he is not going to agree with the coalition, which is currently leading the polls. The leader of the popular party also referred to the PNV, but in a much more moderate tone.
From Girona, and accompanied by the candidate, Alejandro Fernández, Feijóo met with the hospitality sector, where both once again denounced the impact of the "economic decline of Catalonia and the "tourismphobia" practiced by the Government in a key sector like tourism.
