The Basque Parliament will hold an ordinary plenary session on April 16, 2026, where critical issues such as the reintroduction of labor authority authorization in ERTEs, the shortcomings of Osakidetza in the OSI Bidasoa, and the future of educational digitalization will be debated.

On the agenda, a non-legislative proposal by the EH Bildu parliamentary group stands out, emphasizing the need to reinstate the labor authority's authorization in employment regulation files (ERTEs). The aim is to prevent job destruction and unjustified dismissals, serving as a protective measure for workers' rights.
Furthermore, the Basque Popular Group will present a non-legislative proposal on the affordable rental program, seeking solutions to the issue of housing accessibility. This topic holds significant social relevance, and political groups continue to explore avenues to address citizens' needs.
Parliament member Jon Hernández Hidalgo (Mixed Group-Sumar) will introduce a motion resulting from an interpellation, concerning the urgent need to address the deficiencies of Osakidetza in the OSI Bidasoa. This motion aims to improve the quality and accessibility of healthcare services, specifically responding to identified needs in that region.
In the educational sphere, parliament member Lore Martinez Axpe (EH Bildu) will present a motion resulting from an interpellation regarding the Education Counselor's intentions for the future of digitalization. The motion references the conclusion of the four-year agreement with Google and the non-compliance with three laws, expressing concern about the direction of digitalization within the education system.
Finally, the Mixed Group-Vox parliamentary group will present a non-legislative proposal concerning the publication of the geographical origin of detainees by Basque municipalities. This proposal is expected to spark debate on the balance between transparency and personal data protection.
