“Bolintxu Bizirik. The demonstration, led by a banner with the slogan “Surpersur No Enlargement!”, started Arriaga on Saturday accompanied by several demonstrators wearing the masks of the Deputy General of Bizkaia, Unai Rementeria. In view of the possibility of paralysing the project to extend the Super-South variant, the demonstrators have called for the works to be halted.

Since the beginning of the project, 15 hectares have been destroyed in the Seberetxe area, including several habitats of Community Interest, according to the platform. “If you follow this path, you will reach the Bolintxu Valley, the jewel of the Pagasarri massif,” they said. As you have warned, if the works persist, the process can become irreversible in a short space of time.

In addition, the platform has underlined that the project has expired its Environmental Impact Declaration since 2017, despite the fact that the Representative "wanted to conceal this unjust situation". Faced with this situation, the platform brought an action before the courts, so they have asked that the works remain as a precautionary measure until there is a judgment.
