Overview
- The University of Navarra suspended in-person activity and closed campus buildings from 15:00 due to security concerns tied to the unapproved appearance.
- Vito Quiles first said he would speak outside the campus, then announced a cancellation claiming police could not guarantee safety and that 16 knives were intercepted on buses from Bilbao.
- The Government Delegation in Navarra and National Police sources publicly rejected those claims, stating no weapons were seized and that a reinforced deployment could have secured the event.
- Despite the cancellation, counter-mobilizations including GKS drew masked participants who clashed with police near the campus and in Iturrama, leading to riot-control interventions, burned containers and damage.
- By evening, order was largely restored, two detentions were reported, and authorities stressed that police did not instruct Quiles to cancel.
