7baietz!\u00Theplatform A0 has in recent weeks made various claimsin favour ofthe official status of the Basque selection ekitaldi en, and following this dynamic has called formobilizations for this Sunday  in the four capitals of the region for two hours before the start of the final of the World Cup between Spain and the Light.

Demonstrationssupported by the youth organization of Ernai  Sortu andother social agents   will beginat 7 p.m.  from the Boulevard of San Sebastián, La Casillade Bilbao, Farolón de Vitoria and Calle Navarrería de Pamplona.

In the meantime, we are suffering from a brutal campaign of laundering of Spanish and French selections. They say that neutrality is claimed under the doctrine of the unmistakable sport and politics. But to support these selections is not to be neutral, but to legitimize those who deny the Basque selection.

Ernai has also denounced that "the Spanish Team denies Euskal Herria as a nation and acts on our lands as a symbol of Spanish and reactionary". 

They have condemned the installation of giant screens in the capitals of the Basque Country and have called for a protest against "national assimilation".

The youth organization has calledfor the selection shirt to be worn and for Ikurriñas to be brought to the demonstrations, andthe Gure Esku  initiative has called for the same.

The latter has made several collective demonstrations and photographs in recent days to claim the Basque selection.
