Sortu calls for the end of the Spanish monarchy in the streets of Pamplona
- On October 12, in an event organized by Sortu in Pamplona/Iruña, King Philip VI and the symbolic statues of Christopher Columbus were torn down. In this regard, the National Court has quoted twelve young people to take a statement in court. A demonstration of support for these people took place last Saturday afternoon in the streets of Pamplona/Iruña.
The march, called by Sortu, was to show its support to the youth and denounce the attitude of the National Trial. The march departed at 17:30 hours from Antoniuti Park and ended on the Sarasate promenade. In three well-aligned rows, thousands of protesters traveled the route, occupying the entire promenade in four rows.
It was a mobilization in support of the twelve young people, but also to denounce the 78 regime in Spain, as indicated by the iconography of the demonstration. With regard to the Spanish monarchy, the banner that opened the demonstration said that it would fall. Many cries were thrown at the Bourbons, referring to the alleged robberies of these and shouting the Spanish slogan The Bourbons to the Sharks (the Bourbons to Sharks). The Basque Republic and Independence, socialism, were also the most vociferous.
The final conference was held at the Paseo de Sarasate. More contradictory to the circumstances, the stage was under the monument to the Fueros, with three gigantic photographs: Franco, Felipe VI and former Bourbon King Juan Carlos. At the closing conference of the event, Kizkitza Gil de San Vicente, a member of the Sortu leadership, clearly highlighted the connection between the three portraits, linking 1936 and the current situation: Franco won the war of 36, then in 1975 he proclaimed Juan Carlos de Borbón king and now he will reign his son. The messages of overcoming this situation and creating a Basque republic were also numerous.
As for the declaration of the young people, the telematics declaration was to be made on 12 January from the Palacio de Justicia de Pamplona, but Filomena was delayed due to the situation created in Madrid.
