From the Pau General Council, the 21 seats corresponding to the Basque institutional representatives were removed. They stated that democracy for the Basque Country was a collective that called for the creation of a Basque Department and led these chairs to Euskal Herria. This direct action led to a great anger on the part of the French authorities and the police made days in search of these elegant chairs. Two weeks later they were discovered at an event in Baiona.
