Thousands marched in support of Palestine in the Spanish city of Bilbao as Palestinian footballers played their first European match against the Basque Country team. The Basque Country team beat the Palestine team 3-0 in the friendly match, which was marked by shows of solidarity between both teams. Palestinians and the Basque have long shared political sympathies, with both involved in nationalist struggles for independence. The two teams celebrated side by side, arms around each other, on the San Mames pitch in front of more than 50,000 spectators.

Protests For Basque Political Prisoners

February 3, 2015 Xabier Letona, www.argia.eus , , ,
The City of Bilbao was becoming crowded by people arriving from all over the Basque Country as the day went on. By noon it was impossible to walk around the city centre. The main streets surrounding the meeting points from which the demonstration was going to start at 17:00 hours were getting packed as this time got closer. “Sare” (meaning literally “Network” in Basque, a citizen network struggling for the rights of Basque political prisoners) was in the way of achieving the objective of the day. This article is a chronicle of that demonstration. 25 years ago the Spanish and French governments applied the policy of dispersal against the Basque political prisoners. Since then and according to the information given by “Sare” the family members and friends that visit the these prisoners travel 352.329 km every week, as much as turning around the earth 8.8 times weekly.
