On July 14th, France's National Day, several mobilizations are planned across Euskal Herria, focusing on sovereignty and anti-assimilation demands.

On Tuesday, in Espelette, Pamplona, and between Irun and Hendaye, several events have been organized, linked to the lack of sovereignty in Euskal Herria and the fight against assimilation.
In Espelette, the U14 collective has organized a demonstration under the slogan “Fight assimilation”. They will denounce the oppression of the French State, and the march will begin at 7:00 PM from the town's covered market. As a supporting action last week, they dismantled a sign that read "France".
In Pamplona, several collectives have called for a popular street march at 5:00 PM to "proclaim that a people is on the move here" and with the message "Against the wave of backward-looking Hispanism, they shall not pass!".
Additionally, a human chain will be formed on the Avenida Bridge between Irun and Hendaia to demand official status for the Basque national team. The event, organized by the movements Zazpi Baietz, Gu ere Bai, and Gure Esku, will take place at 5:00 PM, and participants have been asked to come with Basque team symbols and jerseys to "make visible the will of the majority of Basque society".
Today, Monday, July 13th, and tomorrow, July 14th, France's National Day, various events and mobilizations will take place throughout the territory.
