- We have met Kamila with security measures. A few weeks ago a written presentation was opened on the name of the G7 Blockchain initiative and we have gone to look for more details. He is convinced that the arrival in Euskal Herria of representatives of the most powerful countries in the world deserves a strong response. In addition to the minimum consensus of the different agents that make up the G7 EZ platform, they have proposed that it be compatible with this union, but that it go a step beyond the confrontation.
Who is behind G7 Blocado?
We are a group of people, that is, there is no concrete agent behind it. Groups working in the area of disobedience are seeking the G7 summit and obstructing their world. By this we mean that we are not only going to put the summit in the spotlight, but also anticipate the state of siege, and to give a few examples, we are ready to occupy the McDonalds of Iparralde or the Golf de Biarritz.
“For three days we will try to block as many initiatives as possible and occupy the territory”
How do you see the summit?
The organisers of the G7 are trying to assimilate discourses against. They say they want to deal with social imbalances, they want to encourage society's participation in politics -- cheap propaganda. At the same time, attempts are being made to divide the opposing agents, legitimising some protests and criminalising others, it is clear. Every day the Black block threat rises in their media in order to intimidate people. The mayor of Baiona, for example, has asked the merchants to keep the stores closed during the summit, if they see weird things that call the police -- they're creating a psychosis effect.
And what?
The work of the G7 EZ platform has been one year. We are in a very strong moment and the organization is ready. From the G7 Block platform we appeal to active disobedience, to the disobedience dynamics that are already in place, to the summit to isolate politically and practically all those days.
What are your political references?
We have a lot of references. In the Basque Country: popular walls against arrests, in order to reconcile the social struggles La Vida is the largest, the self-managed neighborhood of Errekaleor, the solidarity of Itoiz, the struggle of insubordination... and from the international perspective: Ende Gelände and Exttion Rebellion for Climate Justice, Guardasoles de Hong Kong, Chs.... We want to open a middle way between dogmatic pacifism and the sacralization of insurrection.
“We want to open a channel between dogmatic pacifism and the sacralization of disbelief”
What is your political objective with regard to Euskal Herria?
We believe that the level of confrontation should be progressively increased. There are a lot of people waiting for initiatives across the Basque Country. To do so, we must make approaches that are acceptable in this situation. Our weapons will be our bodies. We'll sit down, we'll lie down, we'll let go -- three days we'll try to block as many initiatives as possible and occupy the territory. We want to achieve the unification of resistance and alternatives, that Biarritz is an antecedent for the militancy of Euskal Herria in this new political phase. It is clear that we are not going to use violence, we want to do the activities in a festive atmosphere, taking care of each other, but with a great deal of determination. We stood up.
We anticipate the state of siege, they want us out of the area in which we live and we are not going to allow them to do so. The government awaits us as an opposition from the honest people and wants to give fuel to the Black Block. We are proposing the compromise, we are not divided, we wish to denounce all its assembly.
And how is this positioned with the G7 platform NO?
We join the principles that the platform has worked on. We are complementary. We appeal to the collectives of Euskal Herria to think about what they would like to do in those days, and we will do it together.
