Pello Otxandiano , spokesman for EH Bildu in the Basque Parliament, has applauded the fact thatthe Guggenheim Foundation has abandoned the idea of building a museum in the Urdaibai biosphere.

Otxandiano has criticized the fact that there was no cultural project or environmental project, "the economic commitmentto a tourism model that existed ", and has stressed that this model has" well-known "effects on Basque society: "Gentrification, rising housing prices, massification", while recalling that the "majority" of the region opposed this project.

For all these reasons, he believes that "common sense" has prevailed and that reality "has passed over the PNV." He has also called for lessons for the future, such as stopping governing in a "verticalist" way. He has explained that "things cannot be done yes or yes, much less when it comes to projects that affect and have this dimension. These things have to be done with people, that society has to be part of the social and economic bets that we have to make for the future. "

The spokeswoman for EH Bildu has pointed out that some projects 'respond to an exhausted development model'and recalled that, in the context of the climate crisis, the time has come to 'question' certain infrastructures and projects, although she has stressed that the region needs a socio-economic development strategy .

Otxandiano has pointed out that the listening process that has served to resolve this conflict can be a useful tool in other areas related to specific projects related to social or economic development: "It seems to us that it can be a very useful tool to apply to the issue of energy transition , or to the many transitions that our territory must take in this context of climate crisis, such as food sovereignty, the protection of biodiversity or the adaptation of our territory to climate change.
