The announcement by the mayor of Biarritz Maider Arosteguy concerning Aguilera's synthetic lawn went more than unnoticed during the last municipal council. There were indeed some attempts by the opponent Jean-Baptiste Dussaussois-Larralde to find out more about the amounts appearing in the last item on the agenda (580,000 euros plus 45,000 euros to the local public company Basque Country Development, 76,000 to the company Egis Conseil). Response from the first magistrate: “Write to us and we will respond to you”. It is true that this public mandate contract, without advertising or competitive bidding, appeared on the 51st and last item on the agenda. “It was 10 p.m., we were exhausted and it went under the radar” admitted the most combative of the opponents. Jean-Baptiste Dussaussois-Larralde promised to write to ask for a summary of the accounts. In the meantime, the promise of greener grass has circled Larribeau Stadium.
Impossible is not Maider
In principle, according to the long lease which binds the town hall of Biarritz to the BOPB, the stadium developments are the responsibility of the latter. In principle, because the municipality has discovered a legal trick in order to intervene indirectly – but legally – for the installation of a synthetic lawn. What was impossible just a few months ago has suddenly become feasible. The naughty mind would see this as the consequence of the departure from the presidency of Jean-Baptiste Aldigé, whose relations with Maider Arosteguy were frequently stormy. On the contrary, the person concerned justifies the municipal intervention by the need to offer a training ground to the BO, while that of Courbertin is about to be returned by her.
The mystery of the operators
The world of real estate development on the Basque Coast is buzzing around the lucky ones elected to the call for operator projects for the development of the Aguilera plateau. These would be Alday, Icade and Vinci. “The information will perhaps leak but I won’t say anything,” said the mayor of Biarritz to the elected officials who came to the news. The choice was made on December 12 and the second phase of the call for projects begins. The final selection will take place in April and the transfer of land is scheduled for the municipal council on June 23, 2025.
Thank you who?
The Alda association therefore invaded the premises of an Orange store in Bayonne, to protest against an overpayment to be reimbursed to a customer. She had never asked for three subscriptions, let alone a TV subscription, since she is visually impaired. Orange did what was necessary, by following. If everything could always go so quickly when an operator or the administration makes a mistake, it would be Christmas every day. Who do we say thank you? Thanks Alda.
Oops !
Meeting of the Hendaye Municipal Council, Wednesday: elected official Itziar Aizpuru, presents a deliberation on the draft community pooling plan for the Basque Country Urban Community, aiming to strengthen this practice already developed in the territory. His colleague from the Hendaye group in common, Laurent Tariol, not a fan of the agglomeration in its current configuration, nevertheless registered within the municipal majority, seized the opportunity. He hopes that the measure will improve the finances of the CAPB “which are at their worst”. And to continue: “There is a nice article today in Mediabask which talks about the explosion of CAPB costs and hazardous management. » A look at the mayor of Hendaye, Kotte Ecenarro, incidentally vice-president of the agglomeration in charge… of finances. And the start of the backpedaling operation: “I don’t speak, uh, I speak in general!” » Politics is not always easy.
