It’s not just physalies that are causing hives at the moment on the Basque Coast. A traveling billboard, paraded along the coastline in recent days, has pushed buttons of exasperation on many residents. On this poster praising the Erreka real estate project in Anglet, located right next to the BAB 2 shopping center and the Aritxague stream, this slogan: “Do you want the ocean as a second home? “. EH Bai’s abertzale were the first to get itchy: “In a context where for three years, not two weeks have gone by without there being a mobilization against speculation and second homes, we find that ultra-displaced. It’s a provocation”, summarizes their coordinator Nikolas Blain.
The program under construction, near Carrefour BAB and along the Aritxague stream.

The platform sent a letter to the mayor of Anglet Claude Olive, to find out what he intended to do. On X (formerly Twitter), Nikolas Blain even insinuated that this communication operation had been carried out “certainly with the agreement of the City”. The city councilor LR had little taste for the accusation, but the two sides come together to condemn the initiative of the promoter, Carrefour Property. “I find it completely out of place compared to what we are currently experiencing on the Basque Coast. That said, I do not accept being singled out by either. I was not consulted and if that had been the case, I would have refused. “The mayor is irritated all the more that an agreement had been signed with Carrefour Property: “We had agreed on a common communication, they did not respect it. »
“If they continue this campaign, I will issue a ban”
While the Local Intermunicipal archyde news Regulations (RLPI) are being drafted, EH Bai urges Claude Olive to use his powers, via the municipal version (Local archyde news Regulations, RLP) to put an end to this kind of . “He can for example decide to set up a super high tax, which would be dissuasive. At least that. “The interested party wants to be more radical: “If they continue this campaign, I will take a banning order. It seems that it is not necessary. The poster has disappeared.
A controversial project
Asked, Carrefour Property indicates that its campaign, “localized and short, is now over”. It would have been held in Anglet, Saint-Jean-de-Luz and Hossegor on August 11, 12 and 13. The promoter points out that “the price per m2 of the accommodation offered is lower than that of the real estate programs located nearby, in order to allow locals to become buyers (from 249,000 euros for a T2 of 43 m2, i.e. more than 5 800 euros/m², Ed)”. In addition, “more than 80% of the free housing marketed was with premises (or neighboring departments) and more than 50% intended for the main residence and/or pied à terre”, without specifying the difference between “pied ashore” and “secondary residence”.
The Erreka project, which includes a hundred housing units, 40% of which are social, is not at its first controversy. At the end of September 2022, he had been singled out by a video by journalist Hugo Clément. We saw the construction site start on piles of rubbish. In its press release, Carrefour Property now assures: “All the measures for treating pollution in inert waste have been carried out (screening and evacuation and treatment of waste) in accordance with the regulations in force. If the promoter and Eiffage, in charge of the works, have not been disturbed, legal proceedings are underway against the project manager Ingecobat. Decision on September 5. The delivery of the project is announced for March 2024.
