Overview
- The mayor of Errenteria said information was kept private because victims asked for confidentiality, but her account has been judged insufficient by local press and community actors.
- The allegations involve Xenpelar Bertso Eskola and claims linked to Jon Maya of the dance company Kukai, and they have caused wide shock in the town.
- Local critics demand clear answers on how many testimonies were received, what steps the city and feminist associations took, and whether any formal complaints were filed.
- It remains unclear if the cases were referred to the Fiscalía or if any official legal steps have been taken, which has intensified calls for transparency and possible oversight.
- The dispute highlights a tension between protecting victims' privacy and meeting legal and institutional duties, and it has eroded trust in local cultural bodies and municipal handling of gender‑based violence.
