An honour with the authentic traditional Basque walking stick.

In a ceremony full of meaning and tradition, Andoni Ortuzar, president of the PNV, received a handcrafted Basque makila in recognition of his third term leading the party. On 10 December 2020, the National Assembly of the PNV appointed him president of the Euzkadi Buru Batzar (EBB) for the next four years, reaffirming his leadership and commitment to Basque society.

The piece presented is an authentic makila, handmade by Alberdi Makila, a renowned makila manufacturer and leader in the manufacture of high-quality makilas. Every detail of this traditional Basque walking stick has been crafted with precision, using carefully selected materials to ensure durability, authenticity, and cultural value.

More than just a Basque walking stick, the makila is a symbol of respect, authority, and identity. Its history is deeply connected to Basque culture and Basque craftsmanship, embodying values such as honour, responsibility, and belonging.

At Alberdi Makila, every makila we create is a unique work, forged with tradition, skill, and a deep connection to the roots of Euskal Herria. The presentation of this piece to Andoni Ortuzar strengthens the bond between the makila and those who, like him, embody leadership and dedication to their community.
