Government of Navarre to rebid tunnel works in Belate

During his appearance before the Foral Parliament to explain the matter, Chivite said that the "only viable" option at the moment is for the works to be put out to public tender.

After analysing the situation, the General Intervention of the Foral Executive said that this extra cost couldnot be met because it would seriously harm the Foral Treasury.

The news was announced by the President of Navarra, María Chivite, during her appearance before the Foral Parliament to explain the matter, accompanied by the First Vice-President, Javier Remírez, and the Territorial Cohesion Adviser, Oscar Chivite.

"This was not the initial plan, but obviously it is the only viable plan (...) We have a problem, a very complex situation and this government has put a solution in place. Today is the beginning of a new era, "Chivite said. 

He explains that they are considering ways to terminate their contract with the UTE  Acciona-Oses, and once this is done, they will launch the competition.

Work began in 2024 and  the Government Department of Public Works approved a modification to the project to include the 8.5 million extra cost proposed by Acciona, Oses and Servinabar. 

After the Koldo case broke out and left the Servinabar Business Association in November last year, the Intervention Resolution arrived, requesting that this extra cost not be paid. 

Chivite was dismissed by the Director General of Public Works, Pedro López, and since last June, tunnel dubbing has almost stopped.
