The Baiona court condemns Gorka Torre for acts in favour of the Basque Country

  • The judge denied him the declaration in Basque and decided not to participate in the trial held against him. Faced with dozens of Euskaltzales who have come to the room to show their support, Tor has called for disobedience. In total, he has been sentenced to pay EUR 3,268 for the damage caused to the Treasury.

Activist Gorka Roca Torre has been tried this Tuesday on charges of writing on the wall of the sub-prefecture of Baiona the repression of the Basque Geldi. It was an act of support for the call made on May 17 by the students of the School Bernat Etxepare to mobilize in favor of the Basque Country. The judge has decided not to declare against the judge’s refusal to be granted the right to express himself in Basque.

In addition, he has been fined EUR 1,500 and EUR 500 for late payment. It will also have to pay EUR 1,268 to the department of the Atlantic Pyrenees. In addition to the one in May, he was charged with the removal of the signs from several roads in Lower Navarre and their transfer to the Bizkaia Bridge in Portugalete, an action driven by the Herribiltza movement to claim the priority of the Basque country in the signs.

The concentration was summoned before the Baiona court, and several Euskaltzales have joined it. Among them, students of the Liceo Etxepare de Baiona, Euskal Konfederazioa and Euskal Herrian Euskaraz. On his way out of the contentious chamber, he called for disobedience, according to Berria journalist Ekhi Erremunerdegi: "We must not accept it, we must have an attitude of input. The Basques have to claim that we have every right to speak in Basque in the Basque Country.” Torres has reported that he has tried to have the judge grant him the declaration in Euskera, but that he has repeatedly denied him the right to do so.

In Euskal Herria Euskaraz has also defended Torra’s position and ensured that the right to live in Euskera will be achieved “through sovereignty and disobedience”.
