On Wednesday, the demonstration called for Sunday 6 in Jaizkibel was presented at a press conference, a citizen mobilization to denounce that no military is wanted on the mountain. “We don’t need armies either in Jaizkibel or in the world,” said on behalf of the collectives who have joined the march those who met in the Plaza de la Santa Cruz de Lezo. The march will start at 10:00 hours from Plaza de Lezo, and those who want to drive to the mountain will be able to do so at 11:00 hours in the canteen. From there they will go to the military zone and cry out directly to the congregated there.

However, at the sixth march, the field of reflection has expanded. The military heading to Jaizkibel, where they carry out armed practices and training, mostly come from the Loiola Barracks, and the new barracks have been rejected by the convoys. “The use that the army gives to the mountain does not correspond to the conservation plans of the public mountain that we use for our leisure and that is part of the Natura 2000 network because of its special fauna and vegetation,” the summoners said.

In addition to natural reasons, the callers made known a number of arguments for the military not to appear more on the mountain. In his view, military logic is the origin of the conflicts and the weapons they use can at some point be used against the citizens. Furthermore, they consider that militarism fosters the “world racist and hierarchical order”, “defending the lives of those who and not deciding those of those who”. They also see with concern the economic cost of weapons, “it’s huge,” and denounce that the arms industry sells weapons to countries that do not respect human rights. In addition, the convoys affirm that militarism is based on heterosexual genders and ideas, “it is masculine and physically powerful and aggressive. She defends femininity as a subordinate.” Finally, the drivers of the march believe that in order to resolve conflicts, we must use formulas that seek peace and justice, “based on truly secure and lasting logics”.

Several Foral Police officers who have participated in the march have joined the march. They are as follows: Euskal Herriko Emakume Taldea, Etxetxo, Eguzki, Xoxolur Mendi Kluba, Cincesku, Tiñelu Elkartea, EH Bildu, sortu, Antimilitaristak EH, Txerrimuño, Piztu Lezo and Orain Herria.
