The PNV considers it important to take note of the opinion on the Guggenheim of Urdaibai, but says it is too early to make a decision

The parliamentary spokesman, Joseba Diez Antxustegi, has stressed that the process of listening to the agents and citizens of the region is not over.

The PNVspokesman in the Basque Parliament, Joseba Diez Antxustegi, has expressed his opinion on the Guggenheim project in Urdaibai and has stated that "it is important to listen to and take into account the opinion of the agents of the region", but believes that "the decision" on the museum "must be taken when the listening process is over".

In an interview with Onda Vasca, the Lehendakari Agirre Center has assessed the results of the report published after the first part of the hearing process, which states that the location of the Guggenheim Museum in Murueta is not welcomed by the participants in the process, either those who support the project or those who oppose it.

The process will continue until the end of the year. The Foundation has produced the first results after 500 interviews between agents and residents of the region, and plans to conduct another 400 interviews in the coming weeks.

For this reason, Diez Antxustegi believes that we must wait to make a decision. What they are doing now is "listening, giving channels of participation to the citizens and agents of the region", which he considers "very important". However, "when the process is over, a decision will have to be made, but once the process is over".

It stresses that there are "four important areas" in this process: listening to the citizens of the region themselves, studying the legal reality from an environmental and urban point of view, the work of the institutions (Basque Government, Provincial Council of Bizkaia and municipalities) and the foundation criterion.

With regard to the location of the Murueta shipyard, he recalled that the Guggenheim project is part of the "environmental regeneration of the region itself".
