Lur Berri then takes very an other dimension in the Basque Country.

She announces in 2007 to provide seeds GMO of corn to about fifty members (on the several thousands whom she comprises). She will also ensure the storage of harvests GMO.

In reaction to this advertisement, 150 people of the Basque collective anti-GMO (whose some members of the co-operative) at the head office they express thus désaccord.
