What remains after the G7? A good communication operation for Macron, but with very poor diplomatic results in terms of results. However, for Euskal Herria it has been a significant fact: the response of the sociopolitical agents at the same time and, on the one hand, the action of the State.

It must be acknowledged, to a large extent, that those in charge of the state have managed to control three levels that were aimed at: the spirits, the space and the initiative of the opponents of the G7. They have delivered a round speech on the control of spirits, emphasising the legitimacy and effectiveness of the G7, not forgetting the benefits and reputation of the G7 for Biarritz, Euskal Herria and the whole of Aquitaine. But they've also used clever tactics. Through some media, a message has been disseminated in which the fear and paranoia against the police violence that the State has set in motion is disseminated. In fact, the means used to achieve total control of space have been disproportionate. In it they have had the unworthy collaboration of many neighbors: engaged businesses, markets, sporting and cultural events denied, the whole BAB was “dead cities” at summit times, making anyone who dared to walk the streets suspicious. The fear that police violence in recent months has sown has also contributed to reducing the number of mobilizations.

There have also been numerous control tactics of anti-G7 initiatives. The first is to deny antagonism and undermine the subversive potentiality of the opponents' criticism. The prefect repeated repeatedly: “We live in democracy and the success of the G7 coincides with the success of the counter-summit.” On the other hand, the prohibitions and “aids” by the State were aspects of the same coin: stifling the members of the platform into technical problems, delaying the organisation and, therefore, making communication difficult to mobilise people. Finally, threats and police pressure for counter-summit organizers to withdraw against the wall.

Have we given the necessary answer? Some say yes, arguing that a stronger response can lead to uncontrolled unrest and political problems, but G7 NO! Many agents on the platform don't see it that way. There is talk of a lost option, which has not tried to fit into the imposed anti-democratic situation. It is not the first time that the emancipating forces have lost a battle. It is not so serious in itself if it allows reflection and includes lessons on the future.
