The trial of those accused of helping migrants cross the border in Corrika is postponed to October 7
The trial of seven citizens, scheduled to take place this Tuesday in Bayonne, has been postponed for eight months. In last year’s Corrica, crossing the Santiago bridge between Irún and Hendaye, the French Justice has accused 36 migrants of having helped them enter the Northern Basque Country. The judge explains that the questions submitted by the defence must be examined by the European Court of Justice, which will take longer.
The trial has been postponed until 7 October because the prosecution has not had time to examine the question sent by the defendants' lawyers to the European Court of Justice. The judge decided to postpone the trial.
The defendants consider the delay as a first victory and explain their intention to continue fighting. In recent weeks they have launched a campaign called J’accuse, which has already collected 3,513 self-impressions.
On January 28, hundreds of people gathered at the Bayonne Tribunal to show their support for the defendants. The LAB union, along with many other actors, has strongly denounced European migration policies. Garbñe Aranburu, a member of the LAB, points out that the policies that condemn them to death are the ones that must be judged, according to what the News has received.
Peio Dufau, deputy of EH Bai, also expressed his solidarity with the defendants and insisted that helping migrants is not a crime. He has also acknowledged that he has helped immigrants to arrive in Bayonne and said that the current “criminalization” must be denounced.
They reiterate that the defendants will continue to fight, and they also call on the dozens of people who have gathered at the Bayonne Tribunal to continue fighting.
