The technological park that the authorities have raised in Abanto has created controversy in western Bizkaia in recent months. It is a modern industrial project 4.0 which is expected to create 2,000 jobs in the rural areas adjacent to the freeway. Public-private funding will focus on the energy area. The Provincial Council of Bizkaia, Petronor and Iberdrola are the three institutions that drive the initiative.

For the leaders of EAJ-PNV, who hold the mayor of all the municipalities of the region, this will be the antidote to ending the enormous unemployment rates that surround us. Clean research and action with high added value. The mayors have therefore joined with open arms to the new project of the elders of Sabin Etxea.

On the other hand, the left-wing opposition, EH Bildu and Podemos, have coincided in pointing out the technological park, but not in the location. Emphasise the importance of maintaining rural land. Thus, four kilometres from Abanto, the abandoned land of the old industry has proposed as a suitable place for the construction of the park.

Unemployment is a structural situation in the municipalities of Bilbao to the west of Bilbao. Rates higher than 15 per cent of the industrial crisis of the 1980s are perpetual in our country. In other words, it is the Biscayan region with fewer studies and less training, where thousands of people, mostly women, live, working in multinationals of commercial centres in unfavourable working conditions. In this way, people value any proposal that improves the world of work today. Because in the gravity of the situation, this is the key to the daily anguish of each one. I therefore see with concern that the forces of change have not made known any proposals beyond the location of the park.

Over the past 150 years, we've been employed by large external companies. In the same vein, there is the proposal of the PNV. Leaving public university research at the service of private companies. Taking advantage of the narrowness of its researchers and technicians, the enrichment generated by the work of the locals is transferred to those from outside the region.

In view of this, our technology park should respond to the needs of self-employed and small workers. Integrate food and territory into its axes, propose the residence of the district and the kitchen for schools. Enhancing cooperativism and small trade. Work from a social, inclusive and gender point of view and generate economic activity in this regard.

Our region has a transformative heart, society is different from that of other regions of Bizkaia. Here the PNV wins because it is the only one that makes a proposal of life for people. Let's start sharpening our thoughts, putting them into practice as we can. So that once, out of slavery, the transformative hearts of the left will again prevail in our municipalities.
