The Councillor for Governance, Digital Administration and Self-Government, Maria Ubarretxena, will meet today in Madrid, within the framework of the Bilateral Subcommittee on Airport Management and Infrastructure, to discuss the transfer to the Basque Country of airports of general interest existing in the Community, which will be held at the Ministry of Territorial Policy, after which the Councillor will appear.

This subcommittee was agreed by the President, Imanol Pradales, and the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, in the Bilateral Cooperation Committee held in July last year, with theaim of analysing the formulas and feasibility of Euskadi's participation in airport management, connectivity  and competitiveness, in line with the provisions of the Gernika Statute.

On 1 November, the Sub-Commission was formally constituted at an initial meeting in Madrid, and since then, according to the Department's sources, work has been done at the technical level to define the best legal and administrative formula for increasing the management capacity of the Basque Country in relation to these strategic infrastructures.

On the other hand, the Counsellor for Welfare, Youth and Demographic Challenge, Nerea Melgosa, will convey to the Spanish Government the need to support the extension of the process of regularization of migrants approved by the Spanish Government and to advance its implications in the Basque Country, stressing the recognition of the Basque Country as a key point for people in transit.

According to data from the Basque Government, the Basque Country is already acting as the northern border, since 2018, more than 40,000 people have been cared for and 90% of them are in transit, so Melgosa will ask to be given the tools to manage these arrivals in a more efficient, coordinated and humane way.
