The coronavirus has caused serious consequences inside the prison. Since the plague and stricter measures were reached in March, agents who have joined SOS Prisoners on the Covid-19 platform have denounced the situation in prisons. Today the claim has been made to the Parliament of Navarre and the special committee has made known the situation of the prisoners. They have denounced that the prison leadership of the Spanish State has taken the measures "late and badly", always on the basis of the rights cuts. For its part, Mikel Globñano, a member of SOS Prisoners Covid-19, has explained in Parliament that other European countries have taken steps not to suffer in prison the consequences of the pandemic.

Mrs Bildu has been in favour of the freedom of prisoners as the best way of responding to this situation. EH Member Bildu Arantxa Izurdiaga, for her part, explained that the Abertzale coalition has done so "legally". GEROA Bai joined the measure. The parliamentarian, Blanca Regulez, has explained that compliance with the law is only being demanded and Ainhoa Aznárez, of Podemos, has assumed the consequences of the isolation that bis a bis has, the visits, the limitation of calls.

However, neither Navarra Suma nor PSN have shown their position. Iñaki Iriarte has stated that the isolations applied to them inside prisons with the situation and during the pandemic are normal. Maria Magdaleno, from the PSN, compared to the one who lived in the street with the prison.
