- They have called for a mobilization on Friday at noon in front of the stadium in San Mamés de Bilbao under the motto "Euskarari erasorik ez! We also want to live in Basque in sport!" Under the motto '. With this, they will denounce the aggressions suffered by the players of Athletic Club Mikel San José and BEÑAT Etxeberria, and show them their solidarity and support for the two players.
Mikel San José and BEÑAT Etxeberria have published their farewell in Euskera, so they have received hundreds of assaults in the form of insults and threats on social networks. "I think it's a lack of respect, put it in Spanish because we don't all understand in Basque," "Break with your language and pagan beliefs," or "I don't know what it says, but long live the GAL" are just examples that serve to illustrate the situation.
In view of this situation, the Gu ere bai platform has called a repulse concentration in Tahrir Square. "This Friday we will make a appearance before San Mamés in defense of the linguistic rights of athletes in the Basque Country. Euskaltzaleak, sports enthusiasts will be in favour of our players. With messages in favor of the Basque country, with the mouth covered with a mask and with the ikurrina", they indicated.
