The opposition in the Bizkaia regional government has criticized the delays the project is facing, albeit with nuances. The PP has only asked for a timetable for the work, while EH Bildu and Elkarrekin have called for the demands of the Irala, Rekalde or Zorroza neighborhoods to be included.
The two groups that make up the Provincial Government of Bizkaia, PNV and PSE-EE, have insisted that the Provincial Council of Biscay has a “firm” and “unequivocal” commitment to promoting the Metro line 4that will serve the southern neighborhoods of Bilbao (Irala, Rekalde or Zorroza), and they have assured that the construction project will be finished “within a few months”.
The plenary meeting of the General Assemblies of Bizkaia debated this Wednesday a motion submitted by the representative of the PP, Pablo Gómez-Guadalupe, in view of the “several delays” on Line 4 since “the first project was announced in 2008 ”, and that it only added the votes of the popular junteros, while PNV and PSE-EE voted against, and EH Bildu and Elkarrekin abstained.
The representative of the PP has criticized the fact that “the construction project for Line 4 has not yet been approved, that there is no agreement or agreement between the administrations concerned on the financing of the project, nor has any budget item been allocated for the year 2024.” For this reason, the motion urged the Provincial Council of Bizkaia, in coordination with the Basque Government, to schedule of implementation actions from line 4 once the construction project has been received.
Despite the criticism, both jeltzales as socialists They have accused the PP of making “electoralist” use of this issue and have emphasized that the drafting of the project has not yet been completed. The representative of the PNV, Unai Lerma, has put forward that the draft being worked on “includes the solution” for the southern neighborhoods of Bilbao and allows the connection of travelers from Alonsotegi and the integration of travelers from Enkarterri with “a route that is good and that it is preferable to the measures previously considered, because rail is considered the backbone of public passenger transport.
The other two opposition groups, EH Bildu and Elkarrekin They have criticized the PP’s failure to include the demands of Bilbao’s southern neighborhoods in its motion, stressing in their view that “an answer must be given.”
