Basque Independence claims reach Rome

13 Basque pro-independence youth and three Italian supporters were arrested by the police in Rome last Saturday at the Spanish Embassy.

Three of them had previously chained themselves to the embassy’s fence to denounce the Spanish and French repression against the Basque Country. The direct action attracted the attention of most of the Italian mass media.



This was the last stop of a European tour started on the 1st of May by Basque pro-independence youth with the slogan, “For a youth and rebel Europe”.

They visited 12 different nations where they exchanged analysis and gathered support.
