EH Bildu and EH Bai invite to show “that we are neither French nor Spanish” at the Tour de France

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

EH Bildu and EH Bai, among others, consider that the presence of the Tour de France in the Basque Country is a "unique opportunity" to explain that "we depend on both states" and claim that "we are Basque".

They say that this is a social spectacle that goes beyond being a mere sporting spectacle and that “many eyes” will look at the roads of the Basque Country. That is why they have called to declare that there is a people who want to decide freely and democratically their future.

EH spokesman Bai, Mathilde Hary and EH spokesman Bildu, Unai Urruzuno, made a statement in Hendaia.
