The High Court of Justice of the Basque Country has specified that the mobilisation set for 25 September in Arrasate cannot be appealed and that it will not prohibit it. It can be read in the presentation that "permission" is not needed for this type of initiative, as it is enough to "communicate it in advance" about the initiative.

They have prepared a journey of 31 kilometres to ask for the return home of prisoners, exiles and deportees, and to demand an end to the exceptional situation of Unai Parot. The decision responds to an appeal lodged by the majority union of the National Police, Jupol, and the association of the Jucil Civil Guard.

Gipuzkoa MEP Markel Olano asked himself whether the confrontation should be avoided. In addition to the Solidarity March, the PP and Vox have also announced that on that day they will be in Arrasate – the PP has called an event for that same day aimed at "the victims of terrorism" and Santiago Abascal de Vox has shown his desire for them to approach the people.

Parot, sentenced to 31 years in prison

Unai Parot was arrested in Seville in 1990 and, among 26 other sentences, was sentenced to 4,797 years in prison for a crime of murder. Parot has probably been one of the most condemned prisoners and, in addition to denouncing this situation, the organisers of Solidarity Day argue that in a normal situation it should be free since 2005. In any case, the prison could not go beyond 2021.
