On the anniversary of the end of the Elkano world tour, Wednesday will be proclaimed in Vitoria-Gasteiz "El País Vasco Decolonial". Sustraiak taldea called for a mobilization on September 6 at General Loma Square at 19:00 under the motto Gora Euskal Herria Dekolonial.

Last year it was 500 years since the getaria arrived at the port of Sanlucar de Barrameda, in Cádiz, Andalusia. Therefore, on 6 September it was declared a holiday in Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa. In view of this, dozens of people gathered at Plaza General Loma in the capital of Alavesa with the objective of "questioning the story that both the Basque Government and the Government of Spain were opening about this character".

Another year, the "historical domination of the global and white north" and the "domination and slavery" caused by it will be denounced. In the text published by Sustraiak he stressed that the discourse of our civilization aims to turn the conqueror into an adventurer and exploiter into an investor.

Debates of the European Parliament

Last year’s feast and the celebration of the centenary of the World Tour were a source of debate. The story sponsored and promoted by the institutions highlighted that leading this maritime expedition was a Basque, a symbol of the Basques at that time being the best and most adept at sea. Other popular movements and actors highlighted the expedition of Elcano as part of the colonial expansion of the then Spanish Empire, emphasizing the discourse in the colonial period.
