Censure in Nafarroa and spanish flags

Yolanda Barcina
Yolanda Barcina (president of Nafarroa), said yesterday that putting banners and cartels on public buildings is going to be a crime. Yolanda is member of UPN, a right-wing unionist political party. According to trade unions and Bildu, this decision is very serious and limits freedom of expression. 

In the last 2 years, there have been strong social cuts in education, social services and health system in Nafarroa (south basque country). A lot of students (organized in "Ikasle Abertzaleak" pro-independence and leftist association) and workers (mainly member of LAB/ELA pro-independence trade unions) have led differents protests. UPN always have answered with more repression (arrests, police violence, selective firings and social cuts).

Gorbeia
Spanish government delegation in Nafarroa, have ordered to some municipalities the placement of spanish flag. If they disobey (most of that municipalities are governed by pro-independence political parties) spanish government will denounce them.

On Gorbeia (a mountain of Bizkaia south basque country), a unionist spanish association have placed a spanish flag in a new provocation to the basque pro-independence people. They have made that "action" to call people for a demonstration next 6 of December in madrid against "separatism".
