Report on the closure of border crossing points in Lizaria
- There are no borders in Euskal Herria! Under the motto, some 200 people have denounced the closure of the steps at the level at the Lizaria collado.

In Sunday’s protest, MEP Pernando Barrena stressed that “the freedom of movement of citizens who support European agreements is not being complied with” and denounced that EH spokesman Bai, Nikolaks Blain, “is imposing barriers on us under anti-terrorism pretexts.” Indeed, on 14 January the French Government decided to close the level steps under the argument of the ‘fight against terrorism’.
This has brought to light the consequences it has for people on both sides of the border. “They have direct consequences on our daily lives. They tread daily on our lives and smells.” “People don’t understand how terrorism is fought with eight closed borders and the rest open.”
The Basque parties have begun a collection of signatures to "demand the reopening of the steps at the level and the lifting of the police and military device" and have already achieved more than 1,200 signatures. “Faced with centralism, we feel more than ever the need to live as a nation and as a people, to decide and to strengthen the means and tools,” they said.

"I took the migrants in the car and took them off the roads that the police could be on."
Aritz takes many migrants in her car so they don't get run over, so they don't get lost in the darkness of the night and they can safely go back and forth. It is particularly reminiscent of the woman who helped her cross the border between Irun and Hendaia and slept in her house... [+]
