Residents in Muxika have voiced significant concerns regarding the lack of road safety on the BI-635 highway, prompting them to initiate a series of protests. A citizen platform stated that the road's inherent dangers, including frequent run-overs and fatal accidents, prevent residents and their children from safely enjoying their rural surroundings.

The protests are scheduled to commence this Sunday with a march starting at 11:30 AM from the Kurtzero neighborhood (opposite Galtzada). This area is identified as one of the most vulnerable, hosting key services such as the Town Hall, cultural center, pharmacy, fronton, and library. Participants are advised to wear comfortable clothing and reflective vests. The march, expected to last approximately half an hour, will be accompanied by an Ertzaintza patrol to ensure safety.

Further demonstrations are planned for May 10, 17, 24, and 31, maintaining the same schedule and starting point. Residents emphasized that Muxika has a population of 1,546, and it is time for the Provincial Council to prioritize necessary investments to improve road safety, as the highway currently lacks even usable shoulders.

Additionally, the group highlighted the high volume of traffic passing through the town center daily, averaging nearly 20,000 vehicles according to recent data from the provincial institution, with 5% being heavy transport. They fear that the construction of a new industrial park will further increase these figures. Consequently, they are advocating for sustainable and connected mobility through the construction of a bidegorri (cycle path) linking Muxika with Gernika, urging cooperation between the Provincial Council and the Town Hall.

The need for this 2.8-kilometer cycle path, supported in the General Assemblies and included as a flagship project in the Busturialdea-Urdaibai Strategic Plan, has also been championed by parents from the Urretxindorra school, who have mobilized on several occasions to demand a safe route.
