The Spanish government, claiming it does not recognize the State of Palestine, has not granted a visa to three of the five boxers who should be in the ring on Saturday. This was compounded by the fact that the situation was already quite harsh, as the Palestinians had to travel to Jordan to board the plane, according to information provided by Aiaraldea.

The tournament will be held, but only two of the five boxers will be in the ring, the closest residents in the Basque Country. To replace the three Palestinians vetoed, there will be more local boxers. The organization wants to send all the money it collects to Palestine.

These were not the only problems of the solidarity session between Palestine and the Basque Country. The Basque Boxing Federation has asked the councilors of the PP and PSE-EE to cancel the session. The reason for the request is that the session is not approved and therefore the insurance does not have all the guarantees.

In any case, the solidarity session will be held. At the Bañueta de Amurrio Police Station, from 18:00. This will be the second edition of the program with these characteristics, since last year the first was held between Scots and Basques.
