Aitziber Laskibar – BILBO

In an event held at the Euskalduna Palace in Bilbo yesterday morning and afternoon the 4th General Assembly of the EAJ (Basque Nationalist Party) elected Josu Jon Imaz as chairman of the EBB (Party National Executive Committee). It also unanimously passed the political manifesto that gives priority to the setting out of a national strategy for the whole of the Basque Country and to the achieving of broad consensus among Basque nationalists. The former spokesman for the Government of the Basque Autonomous Community [of Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa] is set to take over from Xabier Arzalluz today in an open political event to take place at midday.

And this could be bad news.
