Main axes

In total, 1,050 people from all over the Basque Country make up Udalbiltza. Durango's mayor, Ima Garrastatxu, explained in the opening of the assembly that Udalbiltza "is a national public institution with the intention of building bridges above the administrative limits that differentiate us and that today and here it aims to take steps and develop concrete proposals to advance the construction of Euskal Herria, always pulling the lines of territorial development, transforming social economy, sustainability and networks".

Concerning short-term work, the main axes are: The projects Ikerbiltza, Hurbilago, Hartu eta Hauspotu; the touristic application Lurgida and the memory space of the history of Euskal Herria.
