After the first round of municipal elections , the composition of the houses of the town has been decided in many villages of the French Basque Country. Yesterday the elections were held in 158 municipalities, and in 147they know who the district will be for the next six years.
In the major cities or towns, however, no one has made enough difference to acquire the baton of command. 11 municipalities will have to go to the second round, including Baiona, Biarritz, Kanbo, Maule and Hendaia, where the polling stations will be reopened next Sunday, March 21.
Bayonne
In the labour capital, Bayonne, Jean-Rene Etchegaray (Bayonne, you are the essentials, the center and the right) has won the most support, followed by Jean-Claude Iriart (in the Bayonne Movement, the list that includes the left abertzales) and Henri Etcheto
The day after Bozen, the two left-wing groups that have moved on to the second round (the lists of Iriarte and Etcheto) have started negotiations in the morning, and the path they will take will be crucial. If we decide to join next Sunday's round, they may be able to get ahead of Etchegaray.
Etchegaray, for his part, has been satisfied and calm with the results. "All hypotheses are open, but I've made a remarkable difference to them and this week we have a lot of work to do," he said.
Biarritz
In Biarritz, too, since yesterday evening, there has been a big telephone dance on the right and left in search of possible agreements. Five of the six lists that have been presented are still competing, and many possibilities have been opened up to form the new village house.
The well-known rugby player Serge Blanco (My team is Biarritz) took a 12-vote lead over the current contender, Maider Arosteguy (Let's Live Biarritz Together), thus anticipating a close contest in the second round.
The party of the left abertzale, Ana Ezkurra (Biarritz Berri), has already advanced that they will not support Arosteguy. "We have our red lines and we want to secure them. We will see who and what," said Beñat Jauregi.
Arrosteguy, for his part, is ready to reach an agreement with the macronists and run together for the next round.
Hendaia.
As for Hendaia, the three candidates remaining in the top three positions — Kotte Ezenarro (Hendaia Elgar), Laetitia Navarro (Hendaia Biltzen) and Tristan Proteau (Hendaian Bizi) — have already advanced that they will not form a coalition.
Kanbo
The situation is different in Kanbo, where the talks and negotiations have begun, where the leader of the left-wing group Argitxu Hiriart-Urruty (People We Want), who has been left in third place, has emerged victorious.
