21

years ago

08 November 2003,

Demos organised a mus championship on the Baiona tracks. In this action of demanding the use of Euskera by the railway company SNFC, they managed to stop trains for several hours until the police expelled them and arrested 63 members. However, compensation was only requested from one participant to pay it on behalf of all. Demo accuses the SNFC company of wanting to frighten vasophiles and continued to carry out actions in demand of the use of the Basque country.
