Oiartzun Town Council unanimously approved two motions in its May plenary session. The first expressed support for the right of students in Iparralde to take their exams in Basque, urging the French Minister of Education to recognize this right «without further delay».

The second motion commemorated two significant anniversaries: the 150th anniversary of the abolition of the Fueros and the 50th anniversary of the Movement of Mayors, which convened in Bergara. Both events have profoundly shaped the institutional organization of Basque society and the evolution of self-governance.

In addition to historical, political, and institutional recognition, the Council asserts that «it is time to take steps towards the full sovereignty of Euskal Herria», emphasizing the need to recognize the historical rights of the territories and update their self-governance. The council will also participate in the political-institutional event organized by the Deputy General of Gipuzkoa and the Mayor of Bergara on July 19th in Bergara.

Furthermore, the future of the Urmendi nursery school was discussed. In a press release, the PNV denounced that «administrative reality has ultimately prevailed over EH Bildu's political narrative». According to the PNV, the technical and administrative documentation confirmed that the existing structure could not be maintained and that integration was the most legally sound path to guarantee the service's free access, as well as its economic, labor, and educational stability.

The PNV believes this dismantles EH Bildu's political narrative surrounding Urmendi, criticizing that «this debate was attempted to be presented as a supposed defense of Oiartzun against external attacks, when ultimately it was the municipal government itself that requested the integration».

The PNV regrets that EH Bildu fueled «false expectations» among families and workers, despite knowing that the proposed solutions were legally unviable. They state that, «instead of acting with institutional responsibility and transparency, the government decided to open an artificial political conflict in the town, fostering uncertainty and an emotional narrative detached from administrative and legal reality».

For the PNV, «the real news is that Urmendi will finally be a public, universal, free service with legal guarantees for families and workers».

The PNV municipal group also rejects accusations made in the plenary and in leaflets distributed recently, suggesting the EAJ-PNV «politically exploited» the issue against the municipal government. «The opposition's role is to ask questions, seek explanations, and scrutinize the government's actions. That is not political exploitation; it is a basic democratic responsibility», they emphasize.

The PNV recalls that since March, they have been inquiring in plenary sessions and committees about Urmendi's actual situation, available alternatives, and the municipal government's plan. «While we were asking for clarity and transparency, the municipal government responded with silence, evasiveness, and a political narrative built on emotions and confrontation», they add.
