Overview

  • Judge Ismael Moreno declined to prohibit the march after the Fiscalía concluded a ban would not be proportionate.
  • Guardia Civil, Policía Nacional and the Ertzaintza were instructed to monitor the rally for potential glorification of terrorism or humiliation of victims.
  • The demonstration was organized by Sare within Etxera Eguna during Aste Nagusia, including a route from Plaza Moyúa to City Hall, a popular meal in the txosnas and a closing act in Atzekalde.
  • La Vanguardia reported roughly 1,000 participants at the Bilbao march.
  • Victims’ associations AVT and Covite condemned the display, with Covite counting 135 prisoner-support acts across summer festivals, 26 allegedly facilitated by EH Bildu-led municipalities.
