The Provincial Council of Bizkaia will builda new headquarters in Bilbao, in the Plaza de la Casilla (next to the sports centre of La Casilla), with the use of the landof the former School of Experts , which will allow the confluence of services currently scattered in 31 residences , "optimizing public resources and improving public attention", as announced by the General Deputy of Bizkaia, ElixabeteEtxanobe .

The sum of these services in the same building will save "about EUR 3 million per year", explained Etxanobe, who explained that this strategic decision will mark a new milestonein the development of the Council, since this new building "will make it possibleto optimise resources, improve care for citizens and provide better working spaces and conditions for people working in this institution ".

"We have discussed various options and the ideal is to build a new building in Etxetxua Square, taking advantage ofa  land owned by the Diputación, the former School of Experts, "explains Etxanobe.

The MP has said that the new headquarters, which does not yet have a deadline for implementation, will be "more digital, closer, more efficient in energy consumption  "and will also have better working conditions for workers. Etxanobe has stressed that the new foral building will support the project to revitalize the environment being promoted by the Bilbao City Council.

Etxanobe has also claimedthevalues of "effort, work, collective vision, and honesty," though he has acknowledged that politics does not always set the best example and that this gives way to populism, authoritarianism, and social conflict.

However, he has argued that "most politicians are good people, well trained and exemplary" and has ensured that "the bad behavior of a few is not worth tarnishing their work and effort."

The MP concludes his speech by praising Bizkaia's position on care, quantum transition and energy transition.     


In this regard, he has announced his participation in a meeting in Houston, USA, in which he will present the Energy Intelligence Center (EIC), a collaborative R & D & i platform to promote the energy transition in Bizkaia and the Basque Country. 

He will then travel from Houston to Boise (Idaho) to participate in the five-year festival, a meeting point for Basques around the world.
