In favour of cycling and public transport, there are no undersea motorways!
In these times of impoverishment, it is a mockery that the Provincial Council of Bizkaia wishes to spend more than EUR 400 million on the construction of the subfluvial tunnel. Moreover, looking at the economic and technical dimensions of the infrastructure, who can assure us that this project can actually be built or that for its construction there is already oil and cars? Have we not been enough with the failure of pharaohs such as the TAV? Do we need another hole for the wealth generated by the workers?
Despite the climate emergency, the Provincial Council of Bizkaia uses an old and logical “developmentalist” through the construction of infrastructures that promote the use of the car. Those who are destroying Bolintxu to build the super-south want to build a three-kilometer “firewall” that will run below the estuary. It should be borne in mind that currently most of the C02 emissions are from private vehicles in the CAPV, rather than from industry, and that is Petronor in our country.
"Those who are destroying Bolintxu to build the super-south want to build three kilometers under the estuary and a "firewall" in the package."
On the contrary, the rulers do not invest money to connect Las Arenas and Bilbao with the bidegorri. Not to improve, promote and make public transport cheaper. For example, the price of the metro increases year after year, from the age of 25 there is no possibility of having an annual ticket, the monthly ticket is only valid by metro, being forced to pay in Bizkaibus; the frequency of the meters of Uribe Kosta has not improved for years, municipalities outside Getxo do not join Bizkaibus with Bilbao, and the bus services only pass once.
On the other hand, this infrastructure will not help to prevent vehicle traffic being withheld. In fact, those who go from Santander to Donostia-San Sebastian will go there to take the Txorierri corridor through the Advanced of Leioa, and it is logical to think that those who live in the Left Margin and work in the Txorierri will take this underground highway.
However, the problem is not the congestion of cars in the Advanced. The problem is the dependency we've been built on the car. The metropolis of Bilbao has been built for the car and Uribe Costa has been touched to be a residential space. As a result, many people go to work every day outside the region. In this situation, the continuous growth established in the region only increases the mobility problems.
This new freeway will not create new paradigms of future mobility as the Council wants to sell, but will condition the mobility of the future by maintaining the paradigm of the past. That is why we regret this Pharaonic project, anti-ecological, anti-social, imposed, outdated and harmful.
The groups Biziz Bizi, Sukar Horia, GuNe and Azkorri Bizirik have called a rally on 30 January, Saturday, to denounce the motorway project under the river and by bicycle and public transport, as part of the Aldaketa mobilizations that will take place to denounce the ecological and social crisis. Hanging Bridge, Getxo, 12:00. In addition, at 11:00 hours a cycling march will start from the sports club Andra Mari de Getxo convened by the Biscayan group Zubira Azkorri Bizirik, and from the group Biziz Bizi a bidegorri vindictive march will be organized between Bilbao and Las Arenas.

We live in a context in which anti-feminist and racist hate speech at the global level is on the rise. Far-right narratives are inserted throughout the world by

Many times, after looking at the brumas from my house, it has occurred to me not to catch umbrellas, even though I know I will just soak up. Why will it be? Maybe you don't want to catch the umbrella? Maybe in the hope that I don't get wet? Nevertheless, the conclusion has always... [+]
I remember when I was 16 years old, the Ertzaintza first identified me in a concentration in favor of the Basque Country before the Bergara courts. We believed that in Euskal Herria it was legitimate to cry for the Euskaldunization of the courts, but then there would also be a... [+]
The disaster caused by the cold drop in Valencia has left us dramatic images, both because of the immediate consequences it has had, and because the future awaiting us has brought us forward: that this type of extreme climate phenomena will be increasingly numerous and serious... [+]

Andoni Urrestarazu Landazabal was born in the village of Araia on 16 July 1902 and died in Vitoria on 21 November 1993. It is now 31 years old and I think it is time to recognize his name and be, because the legacy he left is not well known. Umandi used the name of a mountain in... [+]

I have done a review from the announcement of the pandemic to the tragedy in Valencia and have concluded that the disastrous institutional management that lies and forupe as firewalls is constant of the ruling class.

November 19 is World Bathing Day. Even today, in the twenty-first century, many workers here in the Basque Country do not have the right to use the toilet in their working days. Many transport workers are an example of this.

“You learn walking and singing.” This has been one of the subjects this week in the groups of C2. It wasn't about learning to sing or walking, it was about using the future correctly. The activity has given me what to think and I've wondered how we learn to teach. I've heard... [+]

In recent weeks it has not been possible for those of us who work in architecture that the climate phenomenon of Valencia has not been translated into our work discourse. Because we need to think about and design the path of water in decks, sewers, plazas and building parks. We... [+]
Self-esteem sometimes seems intimate. But if self-esteem is about the image that you have of yourself, about the value that you give yourself, you'll also have to see the decisions that you can make. What value does someone who can't decide have? So we start to look at our mother... [+]
