The Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) is calling for a new political agreement with the Spanish government to recognize Euskadi as a nation.

During the Alderdi Eguna celebration, PNV leaders emphasized the need for a bilateral relationship between the Basque and central governments.

Lehendakari Imanol Pradales highlighted the importance of a new pact that acknowledges the unique self-governance of Euskadi and includes guarantees for compliance with agreements.

PNV President Andoni Ortuzar announced plans to negotiate with all democratic forces to support a reform of the Basque Statute of Autonomy.

The party aims to explore new avenues for growth beyond state frameworks, envisioning a globally connected Euskadi.

This initiative comes as the PNV prepares for its executive renewal in March 2025, amid internal debates and challenges from rival political forces.
