Gernika-Lumo hosted the twenty-fourth session of the Basque Segurtasun Foroa this afternoon. This collaborative working space, organized by the Department of Security, aims to analyze the security situation in each region and reflect on medium and long-term challenges.

The event brought together nearly forty institutional, social, and economic agents from the municipalities of the Urdaibai region, including Ajangiz, Arratzu, Bermeo, Busturia, Ea, Elantxobe, Ereño, Errigoiti, Forua, Gautegiz-Arteaga, Gernika-Lumo, Ibarrangelu, Kortezubi, Mendata, Mundaka, Murueta, Muxika, Nabarniz, Morga, and Sukarrieta. Representatives from the Basque Government's Department of Security, the Bizkaia Provincial Council, and local councils participated, alongside agents from the Ertzaintza and local police, civil protection, firefighters, Osakidetza, trade and hospitality associations, educational centers, retirees, and sports clubs.

Through participatory dynamics, diagnoses and proposals were collected during the meeting, aimed at strengthening cooperation between administrations and involved agents. The objective is to improve the joint response to current and future security challenges, such as emergency management, the impact of climate change, citizen security, cybercrime, violence against women, and drug trafficking and consumption.
