The Alsasua (Navarra) movement has denounced that, on the occasion of last year’s Resurrection Day, an investigation was being carried out against the Ospa movement and that two of them have been fined several hundred euros. "Once again, the political militants of Alsasua have suffered a blow of economic repression," they said in a statement, "once again, from the headquarters of the occupying and foreign Civil Guard".
The National Court ordered the repressive forces to closely follow last year's Ospa Eguna and subsequently referred the investigation to the Provincial Court of Pamplona/Iruña (Navarra), which considered that there could be a "hate crime".
The Ospa movement has warned that this form of repression "is not new" to political militants, "tens of thousands of euros of political fines have been received in recent years". Although what they have described as bureaucratic repression is not as "evident" as other forms of repression, they have stated that "the influence it has for the Basque working class can be very painful": "Moreover, taking into account the situation of proletarianization and impoverishment that our class is suffering (both in the Basque Country and worldwide)."
"To put an end to the bureaucracy and the nauseating virus of the Civil Guard, together with all the repressive forces," they called to participate in the Eguna Spa on 29 August.
