Working alone for the diaspora

A year after Patxi López took over the premiership, Basques from the diaspora who are concerned about their personal circumstances or who need to make consultations continue to contact the Basque National Party (EAJ-PNV) rather than the Basque Government Foreign Affairs Directorate. We in the Basque National Party are among the few political parties sensitive to their needs, as demonstrated in our day-to-day work as we pass on consultations and initiatives to wherever is relevant.  The lack of concern for foreign affairs shown by the Socialists and the inaction of the current Basque government in this field are growing ever greater, leading to questions which for the moment remain unanswered: why this particular map of delegations? Are the delegates sent really suitable?  Why do they not defend the internationalisation of Basque industry and trade and seek to open up the rest of our industrial fabric to the international stage?
