Iñaki Echaniz (born 2 September 1993) is a French politician from the Socialist Party who has represented Pyrénées-Atlantiques's 4th constituency in the National Assembly since 2022.
Early life Echaniz's background comes from his Basque grandparents, originally from Azpeitia and Beasain in Gipuzkoa (Southern Basque Country, Spain). They came to settle in Oloron-Sainte-Marie in 1968. The ñ in his forename has been forbidden by a decree issued in 2014, which affects some Basque as well as Breton forenames. So in French Parliament this letter has been wiped out.
Political career In parliament, Echaniz is part of the Socialist group and serves on the Cultural and Education Affairs Committee.
In 2023, Echaniz publicly endorsed the re-election of the Socialist Party's chairman Olivier Faure.TRIBUNE. Congrès du Parti socialiste : 45 parlementaires apportent leur soutien à Olivier Faure Le Journal du Dimanche, 10 January 2023.
