EH Bildu, Greenpeace and the Guggenheim Urdaibai Stop have called for citizens to be heard in the light of the conclusions of the first report
EH Bildu Bizkaia has highlighted the "cross-sectional attitude" and "lack of transparency" against the location of the museum, while Greenpeace has called on the institutions to "listen to the citizens' refusal and stop the project."
EHBilduBizkaia has called for respect for the conclusions of the first report on the active listening process on the project to expand the Guggenheim Museum in Urdaibai presented today by the LehendakariAguirre Center for its "cross-cutting attitude" and "lack of transparency" against the museum's location in the Murueta shipyard.
Greenpeace, for its part, has asked the Basque and Spanish institutions and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to listen to the citizens' "no" and to "stop the expansion project" of the Urdaibai museum.
In addition, the Guggenheim Urdaibai Stop platform has ensured on social media that the project to expand the museum "will not be carried out in Urdaibai." According to the platform, "even those who support the project are opposed," and has alluded to the "lack of transparency. "They have added that Busturialdea "does not need the project."
In a statement, EH Bildu Bizkaia has thanked all the actors involved in the process, such as the Lehendakari Agirre Center, for making it possible. "In the face of projects involving major transformations, we have always argued that the voice of the people must be heard and respected."
The sovereign coalition has stressed that "the location of the project in the Murueta shipyard has cross-sectional opposition." So far, EH Bildu has pointed out that the listening process and the work related to the strategic plan for the development of the region "have advanced in parallel,"but the coalition believes that "they should be linked. "
He has said thatthe strategic plan is the result of a process of "low participation" and that the projects presented are "promises of more than 20 years of institutions governed by the PNV, which also do not meet the current challenges".
EH Bildu Bizkaia
If a decade ago the attraction of visitors to a region was interpreted positively, today there is a much more critical view.
EH Bildu has stressed that the opinions received "requirea new tourism model that provides concrete solutions to the housing and transport problems generated by the current model ".
"If the attraction of visitors to a region was interpreted positively a decade ago, today there is a much more critical view of the real consequences it produces. What used to be synonymous with prosperity today raises doubts and resistance about its direct impact on housing, mobility, services and cohesion, "he recalls.
Faced with these first "strong" conclusions, EH Bildu has called on the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, the Basque Government and the Guggenheim Board to "respect the will of a majority that is clearly expressing itself".
Greenpeace
There is a broad rejection of this project in society.
On the other hand, Greenpeace hopes that, at the end of the hearing process, the institutions will take into account these views and the more than 90,000 signatures collected against the project, and "reverse and stop the Guggenheim project in Urdaibai."
He noted that the first results of this process show that "there is a very broad social opposition to this project" and that many people in that region " have insufficient information about the project ".
Citizens reject the location chosen for the expansion of the museum, "at the heart of the Biosphere Reserve", an environment protected by the Urdaibai law itself, the European Natura 2000 network and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands of International Importance.
