The boats Pilar Torre and Corona del Mar, from Bermeo; Iribar-Zulaika, from Getaria, and Berriz San Francisco, from Hondarribia, are the four Basque fishing vessels stopped in the port of Dakar. In Senegal they have been fishing for tuna for years thanks to the fisheries agreement that Senegal and the European Union had until now, but that agreement expired in November and the European Union has decided not to renew it until Senegal imposes measures against illegal fishing.
The boats are there, and there are some fishermen and shipowners, while others have come to Euskadi. They say the losses are piling up in these two months They demand the intervention of public organizations to unblock the situation.
