This proposed transfer was intended for the period between October 1, 2026, and June 30, 2027, to mark the 90th anniversary of the formation of the first Basque Government and the bombing of Gernika.
“"Isabel, your people's contribution in Gernika was the Condor Legion."
The EH Bildu leader asserted that Gernika "belongs to Euskal Herria" and emphasized their stance as "always anti-fascists," concluding with the cry, "long live free Euskal Herria."
