December 8, 2023 - Hundreds of people gathered in Guernica, Basque Country, to form a human flag in solidarity with the Palestinian people, as air raid sirens filled the air. The town of Guernica became symbol and a rallying cry against war crimes and the slaughter of civillians after German and Italian planes bombed the town for Franco's fascists in 1937, during the Spanish civil war, killing hundreds of innocent civillians.

Sea Waves, San Sebastián, Spain: Autumn is a time for spring tides in San Sebastián, and on days of high and low tide you can enjoy the incredible views of waves thundering against different parts of the coast for an absolutely breathtaking experience. The waves in San Sebastian Bay in winter can reach 30 meters in height... San Sebastián is a city and municipality located in the Basque Autonomous Community, Spain. It lies on the coast of the Bay of Biscay, 20 km from the France–Spain border. Wikipedia

The Spanish Pelota Federation will appeal the admission of the Basque Federation as a member of the International Basque Pelota Federation (FIPV). The Spanish Federation calls the recognition - happened just 6 days ago - a "nationalist outrage" and accuses the FIPV of breaching the regulations. Both the Basque Federation and the FIPV insist that the decision respected the statutes and that the new Sports Law supports the official status.

Notice the subtlety? Notice how it is the International Basque Pelota Federation BUT the Spanish Pelota Federation?

A traditional Basque sport, whose professional players in the Spanish state come mainly from Euskadi and Nafarroa can't compete internationaly as a Basque NT because of Madrid.

They keep trying and trying and trying to take our traditions and identity away from us. Cultural appropriation is the least to call this.

I really hope this appeal won't go further and the Basque Pelota NT is a reality very very soon.
