UPN has filed a complaint with the Royal Spanish Football Federation for the new Athletic T-shirt with the map of Euskal Herria
The regionalist party asks the Competition Committee to take action and prevent the wearing of the T-shirt in official competition, warning that it is prepared to exhaust all legal avenues.
UPNhas filed acomplaint with theRoyal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) about the new Athletic T-shirt with the Ikurriña and a small map of the Basque Country at the bottom.
The president of UPN,Cristina Ibarrola , appeared today in Pamplona/Iruña, where she explained that the Federation's Competition Committee had been asked to take steps to prevent the t-shirt from being worn in official competitions.
Ibarrola has pointed out that the map of the Basque Country "damages the legal, administrative and institutional reality of Navarre" and has recalled that the High Courts of Justice of the Basque Country and Navarre have ruled in this regard, according to which the use of this image is "a political issue"since, in his opinion, Euskal Herria is "a territorial entity that does not legally exist".
He also recalled that the Federation's own regulations prohibit the use of political logos and messages. He stressed that football has a "major media impact" and specific rules to prevent political messages from appearing on T-shirts or equipment.
The UPN leader wanted to show "utmost respect" to Athletic fans and those who feel the colors of the team and stressed that "they are not to blame for the club's decision."
"We will not look the other way when there is a violation of the rules and extensive jurisprudence of the courts," he insisted. Moreover, he has made it clear that they are willing to exhaust all legal avenues.
