On February 6, the PSIS of Erdiz was included in the Official Bulletin of Navarra, excluding the mining project from local autonomy. That is why the Erdiz Bizirik platform has made it clear that "it will continue to defend our land and our way of life" and will start collecting signatures of claims. The signatures will be collected in Baztan by municipalities, as well as by districts in Navarre and other locations in the Basque Country. In addition, claims may be signed in person and digitally.

We have come to point out, time and again, to the government and to the institutions that support its decisions, which move from legislature to legislature over the autonomy of local institutions. With one single goal: steal communal lands to give them away to multinationals."

Conservative mentalities are afraid of the term planning, linking with progressive and even communist political currents, as the new authoritarianisms do today (Milei, Meono, Orban, Aznar, among others). However, the idea of planning is still in good health, at least formally... [+]
