The political fugitive Asier Guridi began a hunger strike on 29 March to demand recognition of his legal personality. Since starting his fasting in Caracas, he has been before the Spanish State Consulate General in Venezuela. But he has just announced that he has had to abandon the hunger strike: it worsens his state of health and has to be treated in a hospital on Wednesday. Thus, the oñatiarra decides to break the fasting.

It stresses, however, that it will continue to fight for its legal personality to be recognised. In fact, it has been in a state of "civil death" for almost a decade: it has no passport or card. "Without personality, Guridi has denounced that they limit or violate a series of inviolable fundamental rights that affect all human beings or all individuals." Among other things, it cannot perform a paid job, it cannot vote, it is not a subject with rights before notaries, registers or legislation, it cannot have any property, it cannot marry, it has problems in buying commodities because they require the ID, etc.

Her son is also directly affected by the "civil death" of her father, who is in the Basque Country, but in an illegal situation. "I will not interrupt the struggle; for my son, for me, for us," Guridi said this time.
