Baionako meskita, urriaren 28ko atentatua eta gero

Several neighbours and associations in the Haut-de-Sainte-Croix district of Baiona have felt the need to show solidarity with the victims despite the weeks since the attack in the Baiona mosque. The march will start on Sunday at 14:30 hours from the Plaza de los Gascones, where a "march for solidarity and peace" will take place.

In this neighborhood is the mosque of Baiona. Amar Kariouh and Maati Baggar were seriously injured in the attack. Through mobilisation, French Justice will demand that the attack be qualified as an "attack" on the organization. It is precisely after the psychiatric examinations that the Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office in Paris decided not to take the case. On the contrary, the aggressor is far right and has a clear stance against Muslims, according to the NGO.

Need to mobilize against racism

The march has been organized to spread a message against racism and for coexistence. The SOS Racism Association has called for participation in the initiative, which aims to raise public awareness. They all see the need to fight for political and media messages against immigrants and, above all, against Muslim Arabs.
