According to Diario de Noticias, EA (pro-independence and leftist political party) have been fined by Nafarroa government (UPN spanish unionist right-wing political party). On 7 of March 2012, guardia civil (spanish military police) sabotaged the antenna that EA placed to watch basque public television in Nafarroa (south basque country).

The European Union have asked to Nafarroa government at least a radio and a TV channel in basque language (to protect minority languages of Europe). But Nafarroa government do not allow basque public television (EITB) emission. EA placed a television antenna without the permission of Nafarroa government.
