Olatz Salvador, Kai Nakai and Marén have denounced the "mistreatment" they received from the City Council after the Abandoibarra concerts were suspended
The three artists who were going to perform on the stage of Abandoibarra on Saturday have issued a joint statement challenging the Bilbao City Council, which, among other things, stated that the City Council wanted to leave behind all responsibility for the cancellation of the concerts and tried to prevent the video explanation of what had happened.

The cancellation of the scheduled concerts in Abandoibarra on the first day of the Aste Nagusia in Bilbao, on Saturday, still gives us something to talk about. The stage was not ready, and the City Council decided to cancel the concerts at the last minute, arguing "technical problems" .
In particular, the three artists (Olatz Salvador, Kai Nakai and Maren) who were going to offer a concert at the Abandobar on Saturday have issued a joint statement in which they strongly oppose the Bilbao City Council, which, among other things, stated that the City Council wanted to leave behind all responsibility for the cancellation of the concerts and tried to prevent the video explanation of what had happened.
In a joint note released last night on social media, they explained that due to the "work problems" of the company that was to set the stage in Abandoibarra, the stand was not ready and that the City Council cancelled the concerts scheduled for Saturday.
"The three artists feel despised, sad and angry at the treatment received. To this day, August 19, we have not yet received any apology or information from the City Council for the unassembled stage and concert, and for the mistreatment and lack of responsibility received on August 16."
They have also stressed that "lack of foresight and responsibility" have "blurred" their illusion and their pre-concert work, and have made it clear that responsibility for what happened cannot be "at all" attributed to them.
In that sense, they've asked for respect for their work.
Although they are aware of the consequences of the dismissal, they say they have decided to proceed.
"For the sake of our well-being and respect for the public, we have seen the need to explain all this. Let's take care of each other, as the motto of this year's Big Week says, 'main respect'."
