Visiting Palestine

There is a great support towards the Palestinians in Euskal Herria, that is why I was glad to find this article at EITb:

Basque members of parliament visit Palestine

The Basque delegation will attend several meetings where it will explain the Basque conflict to European representatives and members of autonomous parliaments.

A group of Basque members of parliament headed by parliament president Izaskun Bilbao is in Palestine on an official visit. The delegation is made up of Basque parliament president Izaskun Bilbao Barandica, president of Human Rights Committee Iñigo Urkullu and members of parliament Gema González de Txabarri, Mertxe Agundez, Leopoldo Barreda, Itziar Baztarrika, Unai Ziarreta and Aintzane Ezenarro.

Izaskun Bilbao has committed herself to tackle the Basque conflict at the following meetings: A conference for presidents of autonomous parliaments and another one for European regional assemblies.

Bilbao has arrived in Ramallah accompanied by members of Basque parliament’s Human Rights Committee. They have been welcome at the Palestinian parliament by the deputy president of the institution.

Basque parliament president has expressed her wish that violence will disappear and peace will be established in Palestine. She has also urged Isarael to recognise the Palestinian country and has suggested some steps to solve the conflicts in Palestine and in the Basque Country.

Yesterday the group was welcome by the woman Mayor of Ramallah and they also met several social organisations. The trip will finish on Monday.


Just like the Spaniards and the French must end their colonial occupation of Euskal Herria, Israel must renounce to its genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people.
