Overview

• Leaders from eight religious confessions have been convened to form the Consejo Interreligioso Vasco.
• A draft decree is being prepared to formalize the council’s composition and decision-making framework.
• Council values will reflect Law 8/2023 by upholding religious pluralism and the rights and duties of all faith communities.
• The initiative aims to shield the Basque Country from disputes exemplified by the Jumilla case, where PP and Vox backed banning religious acts in sports facilities.
• Specific rules on voting mechanisms and final member appointments remain pending as the decree advances through internal review.
