Mocion of censure against Barcina

Finally, EH Bildu (coalition of pro-independence and leftist political parties) presented the motion of censure against the president of Nafarroa (south basque country) Yolanda Barcina. Geroa Bai (pro-basque culture in Nafarroa) and Izquierda-Ezkerra (spanish left coalition) supported the motion of censure.

However, PSOE (or PSN in Nafarroa) decided to support Yolanda's government abstaining in the vote (surely that decision was taken in Madrid). Curiously they also asked the resignation of Yolanda Barcina.If PSOE-PSN would have voted in favour of the motion of censure, Yolanda Barcina would be out of the government. Yolanda Barcina and her political party (UPN) is linked with different economical scandals. UPN members showed a photograph in which appear different members of EH Bildu with an Ikurriña (basque flag) requiring the resignation of Barcina and independence: "You want independence, prisoners and a united Basque Country. You will not cheat us". The leader of PSOE-PSN said that they are not going to collaborate with EH Bildu by their attitude with ETA violence and their important differences with Nafarroa institutional model (unite it with Euskadi).
 
A group of people protested out of the Nafarroa's parliament. They required the resignation of Yolanda Barcina. There were moments of tension with foral police (Nafarroa regional police).
