In the second round of the Beskoitz elections, Pascal Jocou leaves the lawsuit. The Beskoiztarras elect Fabienne Ayensa, deputy mayor of the previous court. obtained 836 votes, 55% of the total, and Fabienne Etchegaray 44%, with 668 votes. Jocou and his advisers will be eighteen, while those in Etchegaray will be five.

“The campaign was particularly brief, I am very pleased with the result and I would like to thank all the voters who participated in the votes,” Jocou said after learning about the election results according to Berria. The theme of ikastolas is highlighted as one of the issues to be resolved. “When we manage to get around a table, we are convinced that we will be able to detect solutions. That will be our primary role: reassuring the people and finding solutions to problems.” Etchegaray, for his part, speaks “discontent” about Beskoitz’s future. “It had a list with a large management capacity of the country in multiple areas. We’ll see how it happens from here.”

First round of elections

The first round of the elections took place on 16 June. Three candidates, Haritza Camblong, Jocou and Etchegaray. Also then Jocou obtained the highest number of votes, 36.48%, followed by Etchegaray a little less: 34.2% and the least Camblong 27.22%. However, he decided not to present those who did the least for the second round, without asking for any vote in favour of anyone. Camblong and Jocou advocated to facilitate the way for the ikastola to build a new building. Etchegaray, for its part, called for a solution to the conflict, although it was opposed to the construction of ikastola in the area acquired for public use.

The elections are advanced by the resignation of Fabienne Ayensa. The topic of ikastola has generated a great controversy in Beskoitz. They are currently located in prefabricated areas, on land rented to the village house. Ayense, in December 2023, ordered to leave these lands. The Order was rejected by the City Councillors. This provoked the resignation of Ayense by the tense atmosphere he created in the village.
