, Asier Guridi, who for twenty days has declared a hunger strike in front of the Spanish Embassy in Caracas (Venezuela) to demand a passport. Spanish.

Guridi fled to the South American country in 2001 but was arrested by the Venezuelan police in 2013 to, after releasing him, leave him without any type of official identification.

Ruiz has used the massive presence of ikurriñas to warn the PP and the Unión del Pueblo Navarro (UPN) that "if they didn't want a cup, then a cup and a half" since both parties had criticized Pamplona being chosen to celebrate the Aberri Eguna.

The abertzale spokeswoman has pushed her coalition partners to work "day by day" to achieve "the first Basque Republic" in an intervention in Basque and Spanish with historical references to the battle of

in 1512.

The president of UPN Javier Esparza has warned EH Bildu not to "dream, because Navarra will never be part of a Basque republic, of any independent Basque state, Euskal Herria or whatever you want to call an entity that has never existed or will exist ".

The Navarrese regionalist leader has recalled that in 2022 it will be 40 years since the Improvement of the Charter.

"Bildu and the Basque independence movement are against the Amelioration because it supposes the historical, political and institutional recognition of a singular and provincial Navarra, far from the Basque sovereignist project", he denounced hours after the Basque independence act in Pamplona.
