EH Bildu would win the election in Gipuzkoa, but PNV and PSE-EE would be able to maintain the government
If the elections to the General Meetings of Gipuzkoa were held now, EH Bildu would win the election with 39.4% of the votes (37.3% in 2023); he would win a congressman and tie 23. The PNV would go up three tenths, from 32.6% to 32.9%, and win a congressman with 18.
That being the case, PNV and PSE-EE would have the opportunity to govern for the third time with the help of some other party.
These are some of themost notable conclusions left by the December sociometerpublished this morning by the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa, presented by its spokesman, Irune Berasaluze, whose field work has been carried out by the Gizaker survey house, which has interviewed 1,500 people by telephone from 3 to 10 December.
Main concerns

Among the most important problems to be solved in Gipuzkoa, 54.3 per centmention housing, a concern that prevails among 18-29 year-olds.
Unemployment and job insecurity are the second major concern for 30.4 per centof Guipuzcoans, especially those aged 30 to 45.
20.9% have placed health among their main concerns, especially those aged 46 to 60.
Security and crime have also become a problem for 15.4 per centof the population (up 4 per cent since the May sociometer).
Withregard to the economy and employment, on a scale of 0 to 10, the Guipuzkoans give an average score of 6.64 to their personal economic situation, with the lowest score of 46 to 60 (6.48) and the best of 60 (6.86).
Asked how their situation has changed for two or three years, half of them say it is the same, 28.5% say it has got worse and 20.6% say it has improved. Most look to the future with hope.
Despite concerns, the Guipuzkoans have placed the average level of happinessat 7.49 on a scale of 0 to 10; young people are the happiest (7.71). Moreover, the majority of the population recognize that they have social and emotional support around them; here too, young people have been placed at the apex of the pyramid.
Euskera "gets worse"
The Guipuzkoans give an average note of 6 for the health of the Basque Country, namely 5.78 for the Basques (44.3% say it has worsened in recent years) and 6.51 for the non-Euskaldunes (44.2% say it has improved).
In the sociometer of December last year, 35.3 per cent of those who said that the attitude towards the Basque Country was getting worse (32 per cent said that it was getting better) showed that the perception that the situation of the Basque Country was getting worse and worse is becoming more widespread.
EH Bildu voters are the worst at seeing the situation of the Basque Country with 5.59 points and 49.3% say it is worse, while those of the PNV are the best at seeing it (6.36) and 40.9% say that their attitude towards the Basque Country has improved.
