  "account": "The Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) has long defended autonomous competencies, often criticizing the use of decrees-ley for legislation. Therefore, the resort to voting in the Permanent Deputation, with dissolved courts, does not seem to be to PNV's liking. The mathematics of the electoral advance will test their initial words after knowing the electoral advance. The PNV president warned yesterday that their main concern was defending Euskadi's interests, regardless of battles in Madrid. However, the vote that corresponds to them in the Permanent Deputation is called to break the technical tie between the block that could advance the reformulated housing decrees (PSOE, Sumar, ERC, EH Bildu, and Podemos) and those that reject them (PP, Vox, and Junts): 34 against 34. Initially, it seems likely that PNV would repeat the vote from last week, supporting the decree of general measures and dropping the second due to their rejection of automatic renewal of rentals by equating public funds with small property owners. But, one should not assume this. Their defense of autonomous competencies has led them to criticize the use of decrees-ley for legislating before, so the resort to voting in the Permanent Deputation with dissolved courts does not seem to be very appealing to them. Additionally, last week's vote was a necessary support, a critical one, primarily due to the poor wording of the decree, as highlighted by PNV's spokesperson in Congress, Maribel Vaquero. Thus, considering formal irregularities and the conviction that the measure is only a patch that does not address the issues left unresolved for eight years, this time the government might have their support. On the other side, the electoral cost may come with the inconsistency of voting one way and then the opposite the next day, especially in a pre-campaign when everything is amplified, and while thousands of people protest against the housing deal and anti-riot agents from the Ertzaintza cordoned off buildings for evictions. The latest incident occurred this morning in the Bilbao neighborhood of Atxuri, where a homeowner, under the government's agency for social rental Alokabide, owed a significant debt for nine years. Ultimately, more ammunition for HB Bildu, who has also always supported both decrees and whose seat count has grown from two to six over ten years, while PNV has remained stagnant at five.",
  "summary": "La defensa de las competencias autonómicas del PNV le ha llevado más de una vez a criticar el uso de los decretos-ley para legislar, por lo que el recurso a la votación en la Diputación Permanente con las cortes ya disueltas no parece que pueda ser muy de su agrado. Leer",
