Five minutes for the Pyrenees have been questioned by the inhabitants of the eastern mountain of Navarra. Five minutes to analyse the impact of any administrative rule in the area. “We are asking to look from another point of view and a differentiated law to deal with the emptying,” explains Karlos Bueno, president of the Aezkoa General Board.

Indeed, not all regions have the same regulatory impact. They set as an example the school of Auritz / Burguete. This is the last course, as the next one will not reach the minimum ratio established by law.

At the age of 16, students have to go to study in Pamplona and often do not go back. On the other hand, there are many older people who invest in Pamplona. The mayor of Otsagabia, Mikel Aoiz, considers that to avoid these phenomena, housing and leisure models are needed.

The three have highlighted the quality of life that the Pyrenees can offer, but have pointed out that it is essential to develop a housing, work, health, education and society policy that guarantees it.
