Basque political tensions and Aitor Esteban controversies

Overview

Aitor Esteban, president of the PNV, has been involved in several political controversies and criticisms. Initially, Esteban addressed allegations of political harassment and misinformation on social media, clarifying his position after edited video content circulated by stating, “Efectivamente, no hablo con fascistas” (Indeed, I do not speak with fascists). During this period, the political group Geroa Bai also condemned fascist and xenophobic graffiti in Leitza and Lekunberri that targeted Basque identity and language.

Subsequently, Esteban criticized the PSE-EE, accusing the socialist party of entering a “precampaign” mode due to the PNV’s perceived strength ahead of elections. He also commented on the migration crisis in Ceuta, suggesting the Spanish government may have underestimated the situation's long-term impact and noting that while he lacks definitive proof of blackmail by Morocco, the crisis has affected the social psyche.
