Cries against the Palestinian genocide and support for the Basque selection will join on Saturday in Bilbao
There are several mobilizations called before the match, and the rendezvous is expected to be historic. According to the organizers, "Saturday will have a great international impact."
Four days after the Euskal Selekzioa-Palestine friendly match that will host the San Mamés stadium in Bilbao, different parties and associations have called for the sporting event to become a claim to Palestine and the Basque selection .
The Basque Football Federation president, Iker Goñi , has said that what will be lived on Saturday will be "historic" and has called on the public to combine "vindication" and "feast" with a festive atmosphere and tranquillity.
"That's what the international community expects of us. What happens on Saturday will have a great impact," he added.
PNV and EH Bildu
The nationalist parties have also joined the double demand. The PNV, for its part, has stated that beyond a sporting event, it will be a day to claim the Basque selection, to show solidarity with the Palestinian people and to call for a lasting peace.
On behalf of the jeltzales, EBB President Aitor Esteban, BBB Leader Iñigo Ansola and Burukide Andoni Busquet will be in San Mamés, along with more than 200 young people from the party.
In the same vein, EH Bilducalls for "filling the streets of Bilbao in a massive and vindictive manner." "Euskal Herria will once again be a reference in solidarity with Palestine. From the people denied to the people denied. From the people oppressed to the people oppressed," said EH Bildu's Secretary of Political Action, Arkaitz Rodriguez.
At the gates of San Mamés, Rodriguez appeared accompanied by Congresswoman Diana Urrea, Bilbao City Council Councillors Garazi Perea and Jabotxa Fernandez, and Foral Parliament Member of Parliament Irati Jimenez.
"Euskal Herria is a nation, like Palestine, which has every right to have official selections and to decide its future freely and democratically," said the leader of Political Action of the coalition. In his words, Basque society will show on Saturday that "solidarity is based on facts" and "will make us proud." "It is more necessary than ever to continue denouncing the genocide, mobilizing and defending the rights of the Palestinians."
Mobilizations
A number of demonstrations are called for Saturday, including two major demonstrations, one at 5.30 p.m. from Plaza Arriaga, called by the citizen platforms Gernika-Palestine, Gu ere bai and Gure Esku, under the slogan "Free peoples. Euskal Herria, Palestine. Genocide stop!"
An hour later, at 6:30 p.m., another demonstration will leave the Arenal called by the Solidarity with Palestine group and Athletic supporters (Iñigo Cabacas Popular Stand, Impulse, Red Force and Revolution, among others).
At noon, on the other hand, at 13:00, an event will be held in Arriaga Square with the participation of well-known Basque sportsmen and women in solidarity with Palestine.
