Rally to report 20 sexual assaults at Bayonne parties
This Sunday, the last day of the Baiona festivities, Itaia Ipar Euskal Herria called a rally in front of the People's House to condemn the 20 sexual assaults that have occurred since the start of the holidays.
According to thegroup, this year's festivities are being particularly violent, including extreme physical, verbal and homophobic attacks . Bayonne parties become perfect scenarios for stepping on already oppressed and vulnerable subjects in everyday life.
Participants have gathered under the slogan "It is time to take the streets against male violence." In it, Iparralde's spokesman, Elixabete Etxandi Itaia, has said that sexual assaults are normalized. She has also criticized the protocols of the Baiona People's House because, in the group's view, they only serve to respond to social anger.
