How does Aitor Esteban's unexpected victory as PNV president impact the party's internal power dynamics and future political strategies?

Aitor Esteban Bravo, a veteran Basque Nationalist Party (PNV) member, recently secured the party presidency, defeating Andoni Ortuzar. This victory is likened to Jonny Wilkinson's surprising drop goal in the 2003 Rugby World Cup final. Esteban's win, aided by the influence of his wife Itxaso Atutxa, a powerful figure within the PNV, signifies a shift in the party's power dynamics.
