Gure Esku took advantage of this Monday third stage of the Tour de Francewhich will run between Amorebieta-Etxano and Baiona, to claim that the Bidasoa River is “a bridge and not a border”.
“On one side and the other side of the Bidasoa there is a country with its own language, culture and identity that wants to live together and decide on its future,” said spokespersons for this platform during an “action” in I runwhere they staged a “kalejira” from the pediment to the Santiago bridge with musicians, giants and big heads and “to the beat” of the clowns Pirritx, Porrotx and Marimotots.
Irantzu Perello and Inigo Urrutia They have assured that those who think that the French Tour, after two stages through Euskadi, “has left the Basque country today” are wrong.
“Having passed Bizkaia, Araba and Gipuzkoa, it will arrive today at Lapurdi, and the day after tomorrow it will also pass Zuberoa. A border has been imposed on us at Bidasoa. A border that wants to make us strangers to the Basques on both sides.” they stated.
For this reason, they have asked that the Bidasoa River “should be a bridge and not a border”, while denouncing that it is a border that “puts endangering the lives of those who come to Europe looking for a dignified future”.
“The deaths caused by this border are unbearable for us,” they have stated.
