The Government Delegate in Euskadi has criticized municipalities managed by EH Bildu for allegedly "depriving citizens due to political prejudices" of the mobile office service for issuing ID cards and passports.

In Gipuzkoa, the integral documentation vehicle (VIDOC) has visited ten towns since its launch in November. A total of 1,714 ID cards and 650 passports have been issued. These figures rise to 6,881 and 2,551, respectively, across Euskadi, according to data from the Government Delegation.
Although a year has passed since the service began in the Basque Country, it arrived in Gipuzkoa a few months later. The delegate positively assesses the "great advance" this van represents, allowing citizens to obtain or renew their documents in their own town without having to travel to cities with physical offices.

"I regret that the councils managed by EH Bildu —more than fifty municipalities in the territory— deprive their citizens of this service offered by the National Police, which substantially contributes to improving the quality of life of many Basques."

The delegate emphasized that public service should be above unfounded political prejudices. To date, only two municipalities managed by EH Bildu, Arrasate and Tolosa, have requested this service.
