Red fans have called for the resignation of the Spanish Government delegate in Navarre during a demonstration

Summoned by the Sadar Bizirik association, hundreds of people have protested in Pamplona/Iruña, denouncing the violence used by the National Police at the end of the Osasuna match against Real Madrid two weeks ago, and demanding that Alicia Echeverría take responsibility.

Called by the Sadar Bizirik Association, a demonstration was held at noon in Pamplona to denounce police charges at the Sadar football field two weeks ago. The demonstrators have called for the resignation of the Spanish Government delegate in Navarre, Alicia Echevarría. 

The incidents took place on February 21, at the end of the match between Osasuna and Real Madrid. Sadar's security personnel have gone to the South Stand to identify an amateur who allegedly threw a bottle into the field. Espainian police then attacked fans in the stands and in the halls of the stadium. Bi people were arrested and two others injured.

The Osasuna group condemned the facts and opened an internal investigation to investigate what happened. Very different were the statements of the Spanish Government delegate in Navarre, Alicia Echeverría, who praised the work of the Spanish police and stressed that "she did what she had to do." 

Today, two hours before the start of the Osasuna-Mallorca match, fans have demonstrated under the slogan "We are health." With photos of those injured in the riots in El Sadar, the demonstrators have departed from the Plaza de los Fueros and made their way to the stadium along Avenida de Zaragoza. 

"There has been no self-criticism or assumption of responsibility."

Oihane Agirregoikoa, spokesman for Sadar Bizirik, reads the statement before the march. He points out that "we cannot normalize the fact that we are beaten with such rage and violence in the house itself." 

"We know that the fans of Osasuna are not sympathetic to those who dominate in La Liga, nor to those of the largest media, but we will not allow them to change our character. We will not allow them to cover their eyes and mouths and turn their backs on reality. Sadar will not allow what has historically been." 



Sadar Bizirik has lamented Alicia Echeverría's attitude and statements and called for her immediate resignation. "We will not allow, after two weeks, self-criticism or accountability." 

Our spokesman, Oihana Agirregoikoa, stressed that they wanted to hold a silent demonstration. "That's the image we don't want to be given by those who hit us," he argues.
