The initiative is based on one of the popular actions carried out during the 20 daysthat Zabalza was missing after his arrest.

"With this thread we will remember Mikel again today and confirm the extension of that memory to future generations," said Ainhoa Bueno of Aezkoa and Metxe González of the Tortured Network.
Well, he has highlighted the work done for decades to keep Zabalza's memory alive and has shown his solidarity with "the thousands of people tortured by police forces in the Basque Country to ensure that it will not happen to anyone else."
The organizers have called for truth and justice and recalled that he was arrested in an anti-terrorist operation for his alleged links with ETA, which has been denied by institutions, relatives and associations.
Both Bueno and Gonzalez have highlighted the progress made by the Navarre and Basque governments in recognizing Zabalza as a victim, but have stressed that "more is needed. "" The response at the institutional level is positive and, in this regard, we see that there is work that can be done together, "said Bueno.
