The only gas station in the Aezkoa Valley will remain open until December

  • At the beginning of the week it was known that from next Monday the Aezkoa Valley would run out of the gas station because, if no buyers were found, the current owner decided to close the Aribe gas station.

The 853 inhabitants of the Aezkoa Valley (Aezkoa Valley) would be forced to move to Oronoz (26 kilometres) or Aurizberri (11 kilometres) if the point of sale of Aribe was closed. In addition, the only grocery store is also present, which has also been closed. However, finally, taking into account the pressures and demands received, the owner has decided to keep the store open until December.

According to Diario de Noticias, José Javier Remontegui is the owner of the gas station and wanted to close it in March, but then, due to pressure from the mayor of Aribe and the citizens, he agreed to keep it open until August 30. Koldo Landa, from Orbaizeta, now has the gas station for rent and says that the increase in rent made it impossible to continue the business.

The rural area of Navarre is losing population year after year and this kind of loss of services does not help the population continue to live in their villages. Citizens and local authorities now have four months to consider how to deal with the conflict in the Asian country.
