The City of San Sebastian will henceforth report on the origin of the detainees
Unlike Bilbao and Vitoria-Gasteiz, San Sebastián has adhered to the criterion established by the Department of Security of the Basque Government. Henceforth, the San Sebastián Municipal Police will report the origin of the detainees at the request of the media or citizens or "when circumstances so require".
In accordance with the criteria established by the Department of Security of the Basque Government, the City of San Sebastián will henceforth report on the origin of the detainees, according to municipal sources to EFE.
Thus, Donostia-San Sebastián will be the only Basque capital to report the origin of the detainees and investigated, since Bilbao and Vitoria-Gasteiz have decided otherwise.
The Department of Safety and Security began reporting in October last year on the geographical origin of persons detained by the Ertzaintza, and the measure remains a source of controversy.
In this context, the Ombudsman initiated an investigation ex officio to ascertain the reasons for the change of approach of the Ertzaintza.
San Sebastian City Council, for its part, has defended the decision as "an exercise in transparency."
Moreover, he has pointed out that concealing this data leads to the belittling of populist messages and greater stigmatization.
Thus, from now on, the San Sebastian Municipal Police will report the origin of the detainees at the request of the media or citizens or "when circumstances so require".
