The Government has begun the process of changing the requirements for the status of janitor in discotheques, following the death of a young man in the Vitoria Mítica

In front of the Mitika discotheque in Vitoria-Gasteiz, at the request of the young man's parents, who died after being beaten by the doorman, a large majority of the Basque Parliament asked the Government to study and amend the legislation regulating private night leisure security in order to avoid the "aggressive attitudes" of doormen.

The Department of Security of the Basque Government has initiated a procedure to modify the requirements of the Concierge in the  discotheques, following the death last February of a 31-year-old boy in front of the Mitika discotheque in Vitoria-Gasteiz, who was beaten by the concierge and fell to the ground.

At the request of the family of Kerman, the murdered young man, a large majority in the Basque Parliament urged the Basque Government to review the workers' regulations in order to avoid violent behaviour on the part of workers working as doormen in discotheques. Two months later, the Government has begun the procedures for revising the law.

The events took place on 23 February , at the gates of the Mitika ballroom in Vitoria-Gasteiz, when the janitor beat Kerman, a 31-year-old boy, and fell to the ground with a heavy blow to the head, where the young man died as a result of the blow he had received.

Subsequently, it became known that the janitor had other similar allegations of aggressive behaviour at work, and the Basque Parliament therefore urged the Government to 'study and amend the regulations in order to avoid violent behaviour'.

The Basque Government has now submitted to public consultation a resolution of the Director of Games and Shows Nerea Aldayannouncing this amendment, which states that the law will be reviewed "as a result of recent events", not to mention the case of Vitoria-Gasteiz.

From now until 15 September, citizens and institutions affected by this measure may submit their views on this policy change.
