\u00Seven activists from the citizen platform A0Subflubiala EZ have been fined €600 each,in excess of €4,000, by the Department of Safety of the Basque Government for a protest against the project of an underground tunnel between Portugalete and Leioa, which took place on 16 October last year at the Palacio de la Diputación Foral de Bizkaia in Bilbao.
In a statement, the platform explained that they displayed a banner with the legend "Demonstration against the Subflubial October 18" and that one of the participants had chained himself inside the building, actions for which they were charged with public disorder under Section 36.3 of the Gag Act.
They report that what they are accused of is seriously affecting the security of the public, which they did not do "at any time." "The movement of people was not affected by the protest, and the guided tour of the palace continued," the platform said.
They describe the fines imposed by the Basque Government as an attack on the "freedom of citizens" and the "right to protest". They warn that "repression" will not silence them and will continue to denounce the "damage" caused by the tunnel under the river.
