Peacemakers announce that on July 23 they will "block" Ipar Euskal Herria

  • The Tribunal for the Application of Convictions has just denied Jon Parot's conditional release, which has been in prison for half a lifetime at the age of 71. "The real danger is the increase in the feeling of humiliation of the State and the Head of State in Basque society," said the Pacifier, who denounced that the network and the situation at Parot do not give way, announced that on 23 July they will "block" Ipar Euskal Herria.

21 June 2022 - 11:41

The reading they have made public is as follows: "Once again, the sectarian blindness of the Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor PNAT, framed in a security ideology that does not take into account the uniqueness of the Basque issue, has just frustrated the hope of creating the decisions of the Court of Application of Convictions TAPAT for the conditional release of Jon.

This appeal is incomprehensible and even more unbearable, because he feels persecuted by a 71-year-old prisoner who has spent half a life in prison and whose freedom does not pose any risk.

If a possible solution is thus closed, there is a risk of continually extending the hope of extraction, with the risk of ending a tragic end.

However, through civil society and elected officials, society has demonstrated in this long decade its ability to assume the future progressively, creating conditions for the achievement of lasting peace in a democratic framework.

The real danger is an increase in the feeling of humiliation of the State and the Head of State in Basque society.

The blindness of the magistrates, the silence and bark of the rulers, call into question their personal responsibility to a Basque civil society that has assumed its obligations.

We call on Lehendakari Macron to take the matter up immediately politically, to support the constructive dynamics of elected officials and civil society in Euskal Herria.

Since today we have announced that since the magistrates do not give way to the situation in Jon, and since the Head of State and his Government do not take account of the peace process, on 23 July we will block all Ipar Euskal Herria! ".
