Xabi Iraola and Oihana San Vicentemembers of the Sortu National Secretariat, reported on the 2025 edition of Plaza Hutsa during a press conference at the Martin Ugalde Cultural Park in Andoain.
There they declared that “in the new political cycle that is opening in Euskal Herria, it is time to propose something a united country project and to tackle today’s major challenges together.
To this end, this year’s edition of Plaza Hutsa will be held in Andoain on February 22, “a gathering of leftists and independents working for nation building.”
The participants “will analyze how to strengthen the new political cycle of Euskal Herria from national construction, taking cultural and origin diversity as a central theme,” Sortu explains.
Iraola has alluded to the “colossal challenges” that are unfolding on the horizon and has emphasized that one of the most important is precisely cultural and origin diversity. “The response we give to the phenomenon of immigration in the coming years will determine us as a people,” he warned.
In addition, to delve deeper into the subject, there is an introductory talk entitled ‘Bidaide. Cultural diversity and origins in the Basque national construction.
This will be followed by five other lectures that will address diversity from the areas of the Basque Country, education, inclusion, the socio-economic sphere and the authoritarian response. Registration is already underway.
Iraola and San Vicente have pointed out that “in Euskal Herria we are in one new phase in the struggle for hegemony, including as a result of the growth and consolidation of the pro-independence left; the debate on the national question and the possibility of updating the political status are open; and there is a real option to definitively rectify the situation of Basque political prisoners.”
‘In the process of transformative Basque national building we need a milestone, a… innovation that breaks through established inertia‘, they have defended, and to this end they have called for ‘proposing a country project that has minimal common elements, assumes responsibilities and responds jointly’.
