In Bilbao they refuse to be an accomplice to the war
- A concentration took place in Bilbao on 9 February, in protest at the berth of Bahri Yambu on board a ship. The convening groups, including Ongi Etorri Errefuxiatuak, “The war starts here” and Amnesty International, have denounced that the Arab ship has approached the port of Bilbao. The vessel, which also docked two years ago in Biscay waters, withdrew without loading any weapons because of protests by several Ertzaintza agents.
This boat with the flag of Saudi Arabia is not new in Basque waters. Two years ago we heard about this boat. In March 2017 it was reported that weapons were being sent from Bilbao to Saudi Arabia, and a little more than a year later there was an attempt to load weapons. Great protests took place in the port of Bilbao, including the Greenpeace organization, which ended with the flight of the boat, which was carried out outdoors.
This time the boat is in the same state. The collective "war starts here" has denounced that weapons will be used in the Yemen war, which he has already described. In this war there are already more than 200,000 deaths, half of them children.
The "war starts here" group has stressed that the port of Bilbao and the institutions "have the blessing of violating human rights" and that they will continue to fight to achieve the same result as two years ago.
