Navarra’s political landscape shifts as EH Bildu rises to second force, says UPN leader Ibarrola

Cristina Ibarrola, president of UPN, stated in an interview that the political landscape has shifted, predicting EH Bildu will become the second political force, which changes the dynamics of Navarra's governance. She avoided discussing potential pacts, focusing instead on policy solutions and criticizing the current government's performance as a "total failure." Ibarrola emphasized UPN's commitment to Navarra's regional charter, proposing improvements in healthcare, housing, and infrastructure while advocating for moderate policies. She declined to comment on alliances with the PP or Vox, though she dismissed Vox as immoderate and disrespectful of the regional charter. She also criticized the PSN's governance, citing poor public services and alleged corruption. The interview was updated after the repeal of housing decrees in Congress, where UPN voted against them alongside PP, Vox, and Junts. Ibarrola defended the vote as independent, rejecting interventionist housing measures. She also expressed skepticism about Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez calling early elections, though she welcomed the possibility.
