Concern about the presence of a group linked to Francoism and the far right in the Estella area
A group of Francoist and ultra-right-wing people have bought buildings in the small valley of Yerri, in the merindad of Estella and about 40 kilometers from Pamplona.
In Yerri de Navarra, a valley of 19 small towns and 1,566 inhabitants , a group linked to Francoism and the extreme right has been established. The Maestro Ávila Foundation bought the school in Argiñano a decade ago.
The increase inalarm following the purchase of the convent of Abartzuza has raised concerns about the potential impact of this group on local coexistence.
According to the sociologist of the Public University of Navarre Ricardo Feliu, thefoundation has some common features of the sects , but not all those necessary to be considered as sects. However, it emphasizes that the group has historical links with the ultra-right of the 1990s and with the Franco movements, with sede-vacantist currents that ignore the Pope and the Council of Trento.
According to Feliu, the strategy of buying housing in small sparsely populated villages such as Gesalatz would allow them to reach 16% of the population of the municipality, sufficient to gain local political representation .
Since their arrival there has been no conflict, but the presence of the group has gradually changed the social dynamics and the lives of the neighbors. However, recent media coverage and the word "sect" have provoked protests.
