Euskal Selekzioa – Palestine's preview in San Mamés will be marked by proclamation and solidarity

They have organized mobilizations and sold all the tickets to the stadium; they have asked for calm and respect.

Bilbao will live this Saturday a day of social mobilization and vindication at the gates of the friendly Euskal Selekzioa and Palestine in San Mamés. The game has become the centrepiece of an extensive programme of cultural and political activities, with a broad citizen response, always calling for solidarity with the Palestinian people and the officiality of the Basque selection.

From the first hour of the morning, events have been organized in different parts of the city, including a special edition of the Bilbo Kantari initiative called by Bilboko Konpartsak and a tribute to the murdered Palestinian athletes, organized by the association Solidarity with Palestine.

The first, promoted by Gernika-Palestine, will depart at 5.30 p.m. from the Arriaga Theatre under the slogan "Free peoples, genocide stop." At 6.30 p.m. the march promoted by Solidarity with Palestine will begin in the Arenal, in solidarity with Palestine and in defence of the officiality of the Basque Selection. Among the convening groups are Gure Esku and Gu Bai, as well as the sports groups.

In the political parties, PNV and EH Bildu have asked the militancy to go to the party and have called for calm.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian players are looking forward to the start of the game. The technician, Feras Abu Radwan, has acknowledged the excitement of the appointment and said he can't imagine "more than 50,000 people flying Palestinian flags at the stadium."

With the city revolutionized and all the preparations ready, the Euskal Selekzio-Palestine prelude is presented as a day that will give importance to sport, marked by proclamations, solidarity and calls for peacefulcoexistence on the streets of Bilbao.
