The new ikastola of Beskoitz claims

Seaska President Peio Jorajuria recalled that they will take advantage of what was gathered in Herri Urrats to build the new ikastola of Beskoitz, and that it will be the whole of Euskal Herria who will build the ikastola of Beskoitz through the solidarity shown in Herri Urrats. Today, ikastola is located in prefabricated buildings, on land rented to the village house. For several years the permission of the municipal house for the construction of the building has been requested, but important incidents have occurred with the local public administration. This is what Jorajuria said: “We know that after these unfortunate years they are starting to relax, there will be elections, and we would like next year to negotiate in a standardised manner with the new village house and discover a joint solution”. Encausal Fabienne Aiensa resigned in March. Seaska’s desire is to put the precast aside and get permission to lift the building. Following the resignation of the mayor, the elections will be held on 16 June to elect the new council of the locality.
