The Gipuzkoa Provincial Council has requested a meeting with Emakunde and the mayor of Errenteria to review protocols concerning sexist attitudes related to the Xenpelar Bertso Eskola.

The Gipuzkoa Provincial Council has requested a meeting with Emakunde and the mayor of Errenteria to identify "what may have failed in the protocols and municipal mechanisms" regarding sexual assault cases linked to the Xenpelar Bertso Eskola.
According to the provincial spokesperson, this meeting is necessary to understand "what measures need to be adapted to improve protocols" and ensure that "incidents of this nature do not happen again," so that "affected individuals, their families, and the public can regain trust" in institutions. This is particularly relevant as the individual in question had already been reported in 2018 for similar incidents.

Affected individuals, their families, and the public can regain trust in institutions.

Furthermore, on behalf of the provincial entity, Berasaluze expressed "full support and solidarity" with the victims and conveyed her "repulsion" for the events that occurred. She also called for "zero tolerance" towards such behavior and affirmed that the Provincial Council is making "all necessary resources" available to victims and their families to ensure their safety and protection.
