The caravan Mugak Zabaltzen denounces racism in rural areas of Navarre
  • "We are committed to food sovereignty, local production that respects the environment in agriculture and livestock and family exploitation, but not at the expense of the precarious conditions of the workers," they explain from the rural areas of Navarra. They have subsequently criticised the behaviour of the SAPA and other Basque companies travelling to Gipuzkoa and engaged in the production of weapons.

The caravan Mugak ireki denounced on 17 July that what happens in rural areas is "a structural racism" going to the rural areas of Navarra. The group announces a manipulation to "absorb the maximum return to the crafts" of the immigrant workers. The lack of respect for labour agreements, poor health conditions, low wages and contempt and the penalisation of workers for labour rights have heard dozens of examples.

In this regard, they have demanded the following: Improving working conditions and at least meeting the requirements of labour conventions.

Armory: a basic problem

The caravan Mugak Zabaltzen has also criticised the behaviour of SAPA and other Basque companies that produce weapons on their travels from Navarra to Gipuzkoa: "We know that in the Basque Country weapons are manufactured and exported to provoke killings and massacres in eleven conflict zones: Syria, Yemen, Kurdistan, Palestine… And as long as conflicts continue in these peoples, people’s movements will continue.”

In the health context, they have not been able to travel outside Euskal Herria to denounce the "killer policy" of the European Union in the field of migration. However, the caravan Mugak Zabaltzen, for its part, has denounced the racist policies and discriminations being carried out from Euskal Herria. The group calls for participation in the European caravan to be held between 26 and 30 August in Brussels.
