More than 3,000 people have called for the TAV projects and works to be halted and have defended the project “Study of itineraries and joint proposal of public and social train in Burgos, Álava and Navarra”.

The basic actions of this project include the unfolding of the railway track and its suitability to circulate all types of trains. There is also the reopening of stations, the underground and the elimination of conflicting points.

The demonstration starts at 18.00 in the afternoon with the sounds of the sirens of the Altsasu firefighters, in a joyful atmosphere, with 22 tractors at the head and accompanied by joaldunak, mythological characters, trikitilaris and singing groups.

During the tour, giants and butters have offered a dance and the demonstration has ended in the plaza of the Casa de Cultura Iortia. It opened the event with the melodies of the txalaparta and the messages of the bertsolaris, in which the organizers, besides showing their opposition to the TAV, thanked the support received and underlined the existence of an alternative to this project.
