Abadiñoko Gerediaga auzoan dagoen ermitaren parean eskaini dute prentsaurrekoa, duen esangura sinbolikoagatik (argazkia: Anboto).

Our Team of Hands of Durango has offered a press conference on Wednesday, May 7 to communicate the questions that will be asked in the popular consultations of Durango, Zornotza, Elorrio, Abadiño and Zaldibar. Each village has chosen its own question, using the participatory methods and methodologies that it has deemed appropriate.

From town to town the questions will be:

More places to stay in Durango:

• "Do you want to be a citizen of a Basque state that freely decides its future? ".

Pictures of Elorrio:

• "Do you want to be a citizen of a Basque sovereign state? ".

The feeling of dizziness:

• "Do you want to be a citizen of a Basque sovereign state? ".

From the Abbey: (two questions)

• "Do you want to be a citizen of a Basque sovereign state? ".

• If you have chosen "YES": Would you like this country to be independent? ".

Location of Zaldibar:

• "Do you want the Basque Country to be independent? ".

The press conference was held in front of the hermitage in the Gerediaga district of Abadiño, due to its symbolic significance. "There was a time when the Merindade of Durango held general assemblies here in Gerediaga. Even today, the General Assembly of Biscay takes the time. So it was and is a meeting place for decision-making," they said.

People are also reporting on the work they are doing in the country. "We are doing a great job of uniting the attachments of the most diverse actors in society," they say. An example of this is, for example, the municipal declaration that has obtained the support of all the parties of the municipality of Elorrio. Or the support that many of the councillors in the municipalities of Zornotza and Durango, as citizens, have shown to the questionnaire.

In Abadiño, current and past councillors, as individuals, are preparing the broadest possible call that will unite them in the same photo. On the other hand, in Zaldibar, a motion will be requested from the City Council to declare that the interrogation is legitimate and democratic. However, it has been pointed out that accessions are not confined to the political sphere alone. They have also been extended to the cultural, sports and workers’ movements: Footballers from Durango and Zornotza, representatives of trade unions, young people...

They will also be questioned

At the press conference now held at the next Amorebieta, the novelty was that Zaldibar would join the path of popular consultations. Today, it is reported that Atxondo has also been on the interrogation train. In Atxondo they have decided to create the Grupo Nuestro Mano and carry out a popular consultation. This interrogation will not take place on May 7, but they explain that they are "working with enthusiasm" and that the date will be announced when they are ready.
