In the contextofthe Vitoria gardener strike last night PROTESTATIONS have reached the San Juan festivities in the Judimendi neighborhood, where the gardeners have set fire to a doll with the face ofBeatriz Artolazaba, the councilwoman of the City Council, whose department is responsible for almost 3 monthsof strike.
The Deputy Mayor and Councilman for Public Spaces and Neighborhoods has strongly condemned the "symbolic violence, harassment and intimidation" that he has suffered in recent months as a result of the gardener strike.
Among these acts stands out the doll burned with his face on Monday night at the San Juan fire in the Judimendi district of Vitoria.
But also highlight the other "insults and offensive messages" in the public space, or the "painted" in the street, the pasquins placed at home, and personal messages that go beyond all limits.
"Dissent is part of democratic life, but pointing out, caricaturizing or prosecuting a person for public office is not da protest: it's symbolic violence. And it's unacceptable, "Artolazabal said on his X social network.
In this context, the Deputy Mayor and Councilman have convened an extraordinary meeting of spokespersons for the City Council this morning to approve an institutional condemnation text, which has not been adopted unanimously, since EH Bildu has not condemned the action. "Some put on their hood and others shut up," said Artolazabal, adding that "silence is also to blame."
