Under the motto "clearer than ever, amnesty is the way", the mobilisation will take place next Sunday, day 12, in Donostia-San Sebastián. The demonstration, which will depart at 13:00 hours from Boulevard, has called on citizens to participate in it, as reported by the Pro-Amnesty and Anti-Repression Movement.

The movement has stated that there is no shortage of reasons to occupy the streets because "one more year, there are political prisoners, fled and deported", "one more year, the repression continues with its thousands of faces committed to punishing and destroying the fighting Basque people" and "one more year, Euskal Herria continues to be crushed, exploited and torn".

They consider it important to take to the streets the demand for amnesty, whose function is to "disseminate the political content" of it. The movement has disagreed with some uses of the concept that has been made in recent years, and has underlined that when talking about amnesty they not only talk about the freedom of political escapes and deportees, but also about many other precautions: "In what we call an amnesty, we are also talking about fighting repression, promoting solidarity, denouncing the occupation, expelling repressive forces... But amnesty is not just this. It supposes the elimination of the conditions that led to the repression of political militants, that is, the disappearance of national and social oppression".
