The bus organized by Urretxu-Zumarraga 1 to attend the Intermunicipal Bertsolari Championship final will divert to Errenteria on Saturday to participate in a local concentration.

The final of the Gipuzkoa Intermunicipal Bertsolari Championship will take place on Saturday in Aia, as part of a day-long program organized by the Bertsozale Elkartea. The schedule included a bertso gathering, lunch, and the main event, but the bertso gathering has been canceled.
The cancellation is due to a concentration planned for 12:30 in Errenteria. At this event, participants will protest allegations that a bertsolari instructor has used their position and influence to manipulate and attack power dynamics.
The bertsolari school of Urretxu and Zumarraga, with the support of the local municipalities, has organized a bus to travel to the final. The bus will depart at 11:00 from Elizkale. Instead of heading directly to Aia, it will first go to Errenteria, offering those who wish to join the concentration an opportunity.
After the championship, the bus will return from Aia around 21:30. The service will be free of charge, and all citizens are welcome to participate. To register, interested individuals should contact members of the bertsolari school via the Instagram account @martxoanbertsoa or by emailing zubertsotan2023@gmail.com.
