Ortuzar: "López has 145,456 reasons to get moving and abandon his self-complacence"

The president of the EAJ-BNP Bizkai Buru Batzar Andoni Ortuzar assured, after publication of increased unemployment in the Basque Country, that the lehendakari Patxi López has "145,456 reasons" to "get moving" and abandon his "self-complacence". He also demanded that the Cabinet of the Autonomous Community return to the Economic Reactivation Plan agreed by the previous Government with the three Provincial Councils and that Lanbide (the Basque employment service)begin to "bear fruit".

Ortuzar stated that "in spite of the Basque Government's propaganda" that "says that everything is alright in the Basque Country", unemployment had risen again in February, reaching 145,456 jobless. "The Basque Government and lehendakari López have got 145,456 reasons to get moving and do something", he said.

In his opinion the Autonomous Community Cabinet is "living on self-complacency" and "has to get moving".
