The Ertzaintza has opened an investigation into the beheading of an image of King Philip VI by young men

The events took place on Sunday in a march called by Ernai against fascism, which was condemned by the mayor of San Sebastián and the delegate of the Spanish Government in the Basque Country.

Varios manifestantes encapuchados derriban una estatua del Rey Felipe VI durante la manifestación de la organización juvenil Ernai, a 13 de septiembre de 2026, en San Sebastián, Guipúzcoa, País Vasco (España). Con el lema ‘Euskal Herria irabaztera! Faxismoari ez’, la organización enmarca la movilización en su campaña de verano contra el auge del fascismo y la extrema derecha.

The Ertzaintza has opened an investigation into the anti-fascist demonstration heldyesterday by Ernai in San Sebastián, in which several young people beheaded an image of King Philip VI of Spain.

Several young men with their heads covered set fire to the flags of Spain and France, knocking down an image of Philip VI and cutting off his head.

TheSpanish Government delegate in the Basque Country, Marisol Garmendia , has appealed to the Ertzaintza to identify the perpetrators, considering that what happened is "a very serious institutional disrespect".

For his part, themayor of Donostia-San Sebastián, Jon Insausti , has strongly denounced what was collected in the city and added that it is an act against coexistence.
