Bilbao calls for a halt to the tunnel project under the Ria, arguing that it is "eco-social and anti-social"

"It contradicts all the climate commitments made by the Basque institutions and this tunnel will leave future generations with an ecological debt that increases CO2 emissions and degrades the natural environment," they said.

A thousand people have gatheredin Bilbao\ u00A0, called by the popular platform Subfluubiala EZ!, to demand the withdrawal ofthe project for the construction of a tunnel under the Ria , which will be built to relieve traffic from Lamiako to the Left,whichthe protesters have described as "eco-friendly" and "anti-social".

The protest has departed from the Plaza del Arriaga in Bilbao and the final proclamation of the Palacio Foral, another model of mobility for Bizkaia.



The platform has denounced in a statement that the Provincial Council of Bizkaia has approved the final project  "weeks before the deadline for filing allegations", thereby violating "the right ofcitizens to participate ".

"The project contradicts all the climate commitments made by the Basque institutions and this tunnel will leave future generations with an ecological debt that increases CO2 emissions and degrades the natural environment, "they said.

Furthermore, they have warned that it is a 'paradox' that the Council 'has recognised that the infrastructure will increase greenhouse gas emissions by , thereby breaking the model of private-car mobility '.
