Political tensions in Basque Country and Navarre
Overview
Political tensions in the Basque Country and Navarre have centered on the commemoration of terrorism, historical symbols, and sovereignty. In August, the Collective of Victims of Terrorism (COVITE) reported 33 acts of support for incarcerated terrorists during summer festivals, including rallies and the labeling of ETA members as ‘political prisoners.’ During this period, a legal dispute also emerged in Navarre as the UPN party appealed the reduction of protection for the ‘Monumento a los Caídos.’
By September, political movements shifted toward organized demonstrations regarding sovereignty and opposition to the far-right. In Donostia/San Sebastián, the youth collective Ernai organized protests against fascism, while the group Aske called for the release and amnesty of ETA prisoners. Additionally, the party Eusko Alkartasuna (EA) advocated for the creation of a Basque State as a means to counter the rise of far-right movements in Spain and Europe.
