The National High Court did not ban last year’s Eguna Spa, but called for its conservation. Dignity and Justice filed a complaint for "the uprising of terrorism" and "humiliation" of the victims, but the court did not admit it. Yes, he has asked the Provincial Court of Navarra to investigate whether this is a "hate crime". Out! The popular movement has denounced that “this latest attack is not only against us, but against the civil and political rights of all.”
The Eguna Ospa has been held in Alsasua, in seven different events. It was organised for the first time in 2012 and following the suspension of 2017, it has continued programming. Last year they released “The History of Altsasu to the streets of the people” to “make known to the new generations the repression suffered by our previous generations.” It had 14 stops in a kalejira, and Ospa! “That’s why they’re denouncing and investigating us.”
The movement gave a press conference on Saturday in which it expressed its support for Alsasua. According to them, whether or not they agree with the activity of Ospa!, 26 collectives from Altsasu/Alsasua claim that the movement is absolutely legitimate. They rejected persecution against the movement and showed their support to their colleagues. They also called for the investigation opened in the court to be "suspended", which in their opinion is not open.

If last year history was a day centered on memory, they have advanced that it will return “to its origins” and that it will have a touch of “comedy or parody”. They have announced that they will announce the date in advance and that it will be "a pretty powerful day."
