The EAJ-PNV has confirmed its candidate for the mayoralty of Iurreta in the municipal elections of May 2027, after receiving absolute majority support from the local party to continue the project.

The candidate, who has served as a councilor for the past three legislatures and as mayor since March 2024, has been highlighted for his deep knowledge of the municipality and his involvement in daily management. During his term, the government team has promoted various initiatives such as improving services and schedules at Etxego for youth, the pedestrianization of Bidebarrieta, and projects related to coexistence and mobility.
Additionally, the development of the General Urban Planning Plan (PGOU), the launch of Basque language forums, and the continuation of equality and school participation policies have been emphasized. The jeltzale party asserts that this candidacy represents “stability, experience, and management capacity”.

"We are working with a clear roadmap, based on listening to all citizens and responding to their needs. We want to continue building a more accessible, dynamic Iurreta with opportunities for everyone."
