The Council of Ministers has chosen the city of Seville on the understanding that it meets the required conditions and criteria.
Euskaraz irakurri: Sevilla izango da azkenean Espainiako Espazio Agentziaren egoitza
Seville will finally house the headquarters of the future Spanish Space Agency (AEE), which could be operational in the first quarter of 2023. Therefore, neither Zamudio nor Estella, who were the candidacies of the Basque and Navarrese governments, were elected.
This is how the Spanish government decided today at the meeting of the Council of Ministers, as reported by the Minister of Territorial Policy and spokesperson Isabel Rodríguez during the subsequent press conference.
Isabel Rodríguez framed this decision in the government’s commitment to decentralize newly created government agencies to strengthen equal opportunities and social and territorial cohesion.
In total there were 21 candidates Cabanillas del Campo (Guadalajara), Cebreros (Ávila), Ciudad Real, Elche (Alicante), Estella (Navarra), Huelva, Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz), L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona) , Las Palmas de Gran Canaria/Agüimes/ San Bartolomé de Tirajana (Las Palmas), León, Ourense, Palencia, Puerto del Rosario (Las Palmas), Puertollano (Ciudad Real), San Javier (Murcia), Tenerife (Santa Cruz de Tenerife) , Seville, Teruel, Tres Cantos (Madrid), Yebes (Guadalajara) and Zamudio.
“Bad news” for the Basque government
The Basque government’s Ministry of Economic Development, Sustainability and Environment has described as “bad news” that Zamudio has not been selected to house the headquarters of Spain’s space agency, which will eventually be located in Seville, something it considers to be “at least , strange”, being the second “favorable decision” for this city that will also house the Innovation Center for Industrial Transformation and Emissions (INCITE).
