GKS and the mayor have provided conflicting versions of yesterday's riots in Vitoria
The day after yesterday's riots in Vitoria, there is no joint account of what happened. Moreover, those who wanted to start a camp in the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca —the Socialist Youth Coordinator (GKS) andthe Socialist Housing Union — and the authorities (the Department of Security of the Basque Government and the City Council of Vitoria-Gasteiz) have given contradictory versions.
According to the Department of Safety and Security, people gathered in the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca threw objects at the agents.
At the press conference held this Thursday by the Socialist Youth Coordinator (GKS) and the Socialist Housing Union, on the other hand, they have denied that there were "object launches." "The police charged against an initiative that we were doing in a relaxed atmosphere," they added at today's hearing.
In yesterday's riots , four people were arrested — released this morning pending trial — andsix Ertzainasand one Police officer were injured.
In addition to the wounded officers, the young men have reported dozens of injuries, including journalists.
They denounce the "repression" suffered by the Ertzaintza and the Vitoria-Gasteiz Municipal Police, while warning of the consolidation of "authoritarianism and reaction".
For all these reasons, GKS has called a rally for today at 6 p.m. inthe Plaza de la Virgen Blanca to denounce the "police repression" suffered.
The mayor of Vitoria-Gasteiz has condemned the riots and supported the work of the agents.
The mayor of Vitoria-Gasteiz, Maider Etxebarria, has condemned yesterday's incidents and thanked the Ertzaintza and the Municipal Police.
The City Council of Vitoria-Gasteiz, at the beginning of the extraordinary plenary session held this Thursday, condemned yesterday's incidents and showed its support for all the injured Ertzainas, Municipal Police and people.
PNV, PP and PSE-EE have issued a joint statement denouncing the attacks suffered by the agents and condemning the "violent" and "undemocratic" attitudes of the members of the GKS and the housing union. They have also shown their full support for the Ertzaintza and the Municipal Police. EH Bildu and Elkarrekin have disagreed with the statement.
