According to Ateak Ireki, the prosecutor has required five years of imprisonment for 4 basque militants that throwed pies to Yolanda Barcina (president of Nafarroa and leader of UPN right-wing unionist political party) during a protest against High-speed rail. Yolanda Barcina require 9 years for Gorka Obejero and 6 years for the other 3 basque activists.
On 2011, during an event in Tolouse (french state), some basque activists against High-Speed rail achieved to infiltrate in it and throw pies to Yolanda Barcina. It was a symbolic protest that infuriated UPN. High-Speed rail is a controversial project. Different organizations, Abertzale Left, ecological organizations and farmers have rejected it. The main support of the project are UPN, PNV/EAJ and spanish authorities (PSOE-PP). In the past, the project was targeted by ETA (attacking installations and killing one of the businessman) and sabotages.
According to the opposition, the project waste money that can be invested in education or economic development. Besides, it will cause ecological damage, it would prejudice to farmers and only will be used by a few of people (the alternative will be to promote public transport).
