That goal was finally achieved. The cement monster is still in the cove of Basordá without dismantling it, and this nuclear madness is now a silent witness to the lack of responsibility and the illegality.

The Garoña plant was launched in 1971 and turned 40 in 2011. He is now awaiting the government’s decision to extend his life by at least 2031. In the Spanish Parliament, opposition parties have been opposed to reopening. The Basque Government, the Basque Parliament, the General Boards and Basque society in general have shown their rejection of this claim. And a democratic government must endorse the will of the citizens. But experience tells us that many governments, like the Spaniards now, do not respect it.

Faced with the nuclear threat generated by Garoña, it would be inevitable, because we have a broad antinuclear consensus in the Basque Country, to start sewing a great mobilization. If the Government, Parliament and the Basque institutions say that they are against the reopening of Garoña, they will take the lead in that demonstration. For many years now we have been able to stop Lemoiz completely with the mobilizations, we can now achieve the same with Garoña, which is not a question of Burgos, which affects Euskal Herria altogether. For the antinuclear from other countries in the Spanish State it can also be a symbol of solidarity – let us not forget the French State’s power plants – as the Garoña stop can be a good precedent for the closure of the Almaraz, Ascó Cofrentes, Vandellós II and Trillo plants.
