“It is not possible to democratize the Spanish State”

The Independentistak network has also joined the demonstration. In the memory of Catalonia, “it has been clearly seen how Spanish ultranationalism has reacted – they say – it is impossible to democratize the Spanish State, and within its structures Euskal Herria has no option of sovereignty”.

At the Bilbao demonstration, Pablo Gorostiaga said that 40 years ago Basque society said "no" to the Constitution: “They have not been able to speak on our behalf. They have not been able to say that the Basque People approved the Constitution.”
