"Where is the right to information for citizens?"

  • The SOS Kurkudi platform has once again denounced the lack of transparency of the urban project that aims to eliminate the protection of the lands of the Dominican convent in Leioa. The concentrates have lamented the intention to build a private sports club of 25,000 square meters with "a purely private and speculative objective", and have highlighted the lack of information and silence surrounding it.

According to the members of the platform, as of 31 December 2019, 40 claims were submitted to the project, but no response was received. As they have explained, it is "a project fraught with irregularities" and in the face of the silence of the City Hall of Leioa, they decided to go to the Ararteko. "Thanks to their mediation, in October 2020 we got answers to the allegations," they said in a social media publication.

Since then, the City Council continued to process the project in 2021 and forwarded the project to the Basque Country Spatial Planning Commission, but since then the platform has not received any news about the status of the project. Therefore, SOS Kurkudikoa explained that on 27 July 2021 they addressed the Basque Government’s Department of Spatial Planning, but that they did not receive a response for this reason either: "We only have the Post Office's receipt of that procedure."

Therefore, in addition to the Association of Neighbours of San Bartolomé and Artatzagana and the Cultural Association Auzotarrok, the platform that brings together people concerned with the project of recalification and construction of the hillside of Mount Kurkudi, asks again about the administrative situation of the project. They have also asked for explanations for the silence of the institutions involved, "for the right of interested parties and, in general, for informing the public".
