A group of farmers try to break into the Parliament of Navarra
- On Thursday morning, they met with tractors abroad and, at the beginning of the session, a number of farmers approached the door. After the tensions, the Foral Police has managed to close the door and the demonstrators have not been able to enter.
On Thursday morning and noon they experienced a moment of tension in the Foral Parliament of Navarra. The Foral Police reports that twelve persons have been identified, and the Government says that they will be charged with charges, but it has not been explained whether they will be extended by administrative or judicial means for causing public disorder. The draft Foral Budgets for the year 2024 has been debated and voted on in the session, using the F6 platform to protest.
After agreement, a representation of the baserritars (UAGN, EHNE, UCAN and F6) has had the opportunity to continue the meeting from the guest gallery. The President of the Parliament of Navarre, Unai Hualde, has taken over some of them on several occasions for his attitude.
After the end of the sitting, around 15:00, the farmers have approached the back and the previous exits of the building and insulted the political representatives who have left them. Again, there have been moments of tension between police and peasants. By 15:30 the tractors start to retire and end the protest.
“The organization that represents all Navarros has been attacked, is a democratic institution,” explains María Chivite, president of the Government of Navarra. “The worst thing is that we don’t know how far this movement of political structures can go.”
Amparo López, Councillor for the Interior, Civil Service and Justice and spokesman for the Government, said that "Today we denounce the unacceptable and serious incident in the Parliament of Navarra, which has tried to enter Parliament with force and that the speedy intervention of the Foral Police has allowed the paralysis. I appreciate the work done. For the first time this has happened in the Parliament of Navarra."
The Sanmartines are well known in our homes, as it is time to kill the pig. However, many people will not know that before St. Martin's day marked the end of the agricultural year. And that was no nonsense. In fact, at the end of the year, I had to pay an annual rent to my... [+]
Are baserritars on vacation? They ask in school. The students have answered no. So, working every day, would you like to be baserritarra in the future? And if nobody wants to be a baserritarra, who is going to make food for us? The question stayed in the air.

Much of the current left-wing movement, albeit intuitively, claims small-scale agriculture, without any doubt. However, this claim for smallness has its contradictions: a small farm, by definition, will not be able to produce a lot of food. And is that important? Well, in a... [+]
We have seen the peasants with power tractors, roads, bridges, blocking borders, and the heart made us “krak!” in solidarity, because we are also peasants children and brothers, because they are still striving to bring the farms ahead. We've heard protesters criticizing the... [+]

The presence in the city walks of a tractor that moves with ease and dexterity in the cornfields, causes a shock of images, an out-of-place device loses its elegance and strength in the city, just as the high-heel shoes lose when you see walking through the mountain. The change... [+]
