Vito Quiles begins his tour of Pamplona today amid protests, criticism from the City Council and changes of location

Vito Quiles ultra begins today in Pamplona its tour of the state under the title "Combative Tours II", an event that has provoked criticism from the City Council, a mobilization against itand changes in other activities planned in the city. The appointment that was originally to take place in the Plaza del Castillo  will take place at 6 p.m. in the Yamaguchi Park, according to the decision of the Government Delegation in Navarre.

Various groups, organizations, youth movements and trade unions have called for mobilization against their presence in the Navarre capital. The rally will take place at 5.30 p.m. in Plaza del Castillo and the summoners want to form a "wall antifascist".

The groups believe that there is currently a "reactionary wave" that seeks to curtail rights, especially those in the most precarious sectors, and reinforces the "national oppression of Euskal Herria." In this context, they advocate the need to question the public presence of people who legitimize and reinforce these ideas.

Vito Quiles wants to return to the Basque Country on 26 Octoberto Bilbao. 

The Pamplona City Council Board on Tuesday approved a declaration in defence of coexistence and democracy in the face of Quiles' visit, which rejects hate speeches, the dissemination of bulls and attempts to delegitimize electoral processes.

UPN, EH Bildu, PSN and Geroa Bai voted in favour of the first three sections, with nine votes in favour and the abstention of the PP.

As a result of the Quiles event, it has been necessary to change the location of at least two activities planned in Pamplona.

Esku Hutsik organized an event in Castle Square on the occasion of the Day of Pregnancy, Perinatal and Neonatal Mourning, which will finally be held in the children's park of the University Hospital of Navarre.

Likewise, the Izeia group has taken to Friday, in Villava, the presentation of their new show, which was originally to be held this Thursday at 7 p.m. in Castle Square.

Vito Quiles' visit to Pamplona caused riots in October 2025. On the 30th of that month, two people were arrested and several injured in clashes between anti-Quiles protesters and National Police officers, despite the cancellation of the planned event on the campus of the University of Navarre.

A few months later, 28 people were arrested in connection with the clashes.

Due to the presence of Quiles, the university closed the buildings and suspended academic activity from 3 p.m. However, hundreds of opponents of the event and a smaller group of supporters concentrated on the campus.

The police deployed a device to separate the two groups and ended up charging the anti-Quiles protesters, who responded by throwing objects at them, and then the clashes spread to the Iturrama neighbourhood, where they dumped and set fire to several containers and threw bottles and other objects at the officers.
