The Lekeitio City Council has announced the publicization of the town's Musika Eskola (Music School). The PNV has reaffirmed its firm commitment to this initiative, while severely denouncing the "obvious lack of planning and management" demonstrated by EH Bildu's municipal government throughout the entire process.
The PNV has been actively working towards the publicization of this service since 2024. In fact, during the budget negotiations in November of that year, the party expressly proposed this initiative as a key contribution to the 2025 accounts. Although EH Bildu committed to it at the time, the local executive did not initiate the corresponding procedures until the end of 2025, postponing the provisional approval for the creation of the service until February 2026.
Furthermore, EAJ-PNV warns that the troubled management of the procedure has generated a worrying "legal uncertainty". According to PNV sources, the plenary agreement for final approval should have been published in the Official Gazette before initiating the service's tender, a crucial step that was not completed. Likewise, the City Council's own report questions the urgency procedure now adopted by the council, as the mere intention to start classes on September 1st does not legally justify an exceptional process. These irregularities, the opposition points out, expose the project to potential appeals that could paralyze it.
In addition to these deficiencies, the party criticizes the City Council for failing to meet the stipulated deadlines to request the necessary authorization from the Basque Government to start the 2026-2027 academic year as a public service. This request should have been processed before January 31, 2026, but municipal authorities delayed the procedure until May 5, despite having the required documentation since February.
For all these reasons, the PNV emphasizes that the responsibility for these discrepancies lies exclusively with the local government, rejecting any attempt to blame regional institutions for the delays. Ultimately, the PNV group has assured that it will continue to act with rigor to guarantee a stable and well-managed school model, while demanding that EH Bildu abandon improvisation.
