Bilboko Konpartsak presented the protocols for the Big Week starting on Saturday this Friday and announced that the txosnas will be "safe reference points" for those who suffer or witness an attack during the holidays.

The Federation of Comparisons, which will have daily monitoring shifts for the care of assaulted persons, has explained that they will have an "empathetic" reception and that no one will be tried or questioned.

Support and attention

The assailants will be escorted toa safe place and, if they so wish, the comparisons will contact other agents or institutions, including the Municipal Social Emergency Service (SMUS) and the police.

The protocols provide for actions to deal with sexist, racist, fascist, Euskarafobo, police or LGBT phobic attacks. In the event of an attack, the comparisons will decide at the information tables every morning what to respond to with the consent of the assaulted person.

"Attacks have no place."

Bilboko Konpartsak has argued that Aste Nagusia should be a spacetopromote "respect, diversity, freedom and equality" , and has called for participation in the demonstrations of revulsion against aggression.

The Federation has expressed concern about the situation experienced by street vendors during the recent festivities, denouncing harassment, arrests and seizures of material and callingfor"decent treatment for all people" .

They have also claimed "free" parties for Basques and denounced situations in which people have been questioned or assaulted for speaking or serving in Basque.
