• The pact between the Navarra Socialist Party and EH Bildu grants the mayoralty to Joseba Asiron, symbolic for Basque nationalist ambitions.
• This pact solidifies the alliance between PSOE and EH Bildu, extending its influence from Congress to more local institutions.
• This agreement reinforces EH Bildu's goals to govern in the Basque Country and unite it with the Chartered Community of Navarra into a single nation.
• For the PSOE, this represents crossing the Rubicon of pacts with EH Bildu in important governments and mayorships.
• This pact has created a fracture in Pamplonese society, fuelling political polarisation.

Conclusion: The pact is detrimental in the short term for Pamplona and will be harmful in the medium term for PSOE and cohabitation. In the long term, it only benefits EH Bildu.
