The University of Navarre has suspended its afternoon activity in Pamplona for security reasons following a Vito Quiles event

The University of Navarre has decided to suspend all activity on the Pamplona Campus from 3 p.m. on Thursday afternoon, "for security reasons", after learning that the ultra-right-wing activist Vito Quiles, who was denied a request to give a lecture inside the center, is due to appear on the portal today, Quiles said. 

According to a statement from the University of Navarre, "in view of the foreseeable arrival of groups and violent events in the afternoon , the academic center has decided to suspend classes and suspend all face-to-face activity." 

In a letter addressed to workers and students, Rector Maria Iraburu defines the University of Navarre as "a space for meeting, reflection, peaceful coexistence, paused debate and respect". 

"At every moment of history, despite the details, there are situations that threaten this goal. We live in times of great polarization, in which words and ideas are manipulated and distorted, and coherence is often confused with aggression," he says. 

"Our university community is made up of a wide range of free people who are responsible for their actions. It is important to remember that we build this university space every day, together, with words, attitudes and actions."
