The Congress of Thieves will not be held this year due to difficulties in the renewal of the group
- The Congress of Thieves, which is usually held every year in Uztaritz, has been cancelled this year by the organizers. They explain that the party preparation team does not innovate and that they are "exhausted".
Duela 40 urte ekin zioten Lapurtarren Biltzarra ospatzeari (arg.: Gure Irratia)
This year's Conference of Thieves should be the 38th edition, but it will not be held. Instead, the organizers enter a phase of reflection, seeing that they do not have more young people to celebrate.
The festival was founded in 1979 and its participation in recent years has been declining and has also suffered a "loss of identity". In 2014, some changes were made to try to turn the situation around and attract groups of young people, but this has not been enough. It is the second time since its inception that the Congress has not been held.
Antton Lanes, who has made a long career at the conference, confesses to Mediabask that the decision was "painful", but also adds that the party is not "buried". The organizers hope that the decision will be an incentive for the future.
