ANDhe Athletic is already in electoral work. Ricardo Barkala is the first candidate to show his cards – he will do it this Tuesday at the Carlton Hotel although he is still hiding, yes, the definitive tricks – and soon Iaki Arechabaleta will do it, who has also been outlining the candidacy for some time.

Elizegi, who came out the winner in the elections on December 27, 2018, presented 2,942 valid signatures while Alberto Uribe-Echevarra had 3,972 endorsements.

There is no record yet of where this testimonial transfer of powers will take place this time.
