Paris, France. Basque Country born Eric Itcia was elected by the club’s General Assembly on June 22nd as the new president of the Paris Euskal Etxea, taking over for Sebastien Daguerre, after eight years of renowned management. As reported, Sebastien Daguerre left office on March 23rd, at the General Assembly held on that day.
