Zupiria clarifies the events in Azpeitia. A painting against the police indicates that it caused riots
As explained by the Security Counsellor, "handcuffs and walki-talkies" were stolen and the Ertzainas were attacked, including two wounded, while the Ertzainas acting in Azpeitia carried body cameras, so there are recordings to verify the account of what happened.
TheBasque Government's Security Adviser, Bingen Zupiria , clarified on Wednesday, inan interview on Radio Euskadi , what happened last weekend in Azpeitia(Gipuzkoa), where, according to Zupiria, "the incidents did not begin withthe arrival of the Ertzaintza ".
The Ertzainas came to the aid of the local police, after more than 40 people entered the police station. "They stole handcuffs and walkie-talkies"and attacked the officers, including two wounded. The riots began after a young man who wrote in a container the message" All policemen are bastards "was fined, Zupiria said.
At that time, a group of people appeared who had created "momentsof tension and clashes "around this container. The young men went to the Azpeitia City Council to ask for explanations from the Municipal Police , who had assisted the Ertzaintza at the time of identification.
Zupiria added that three people entered the local police units trying to confront the local police, opened the door and more than 40 people entered the local police units, so three local police officers present asked the Ertzaintza for protection and assistance.
Zupiria has explained that three patrols in the area came and "didwhat they could" ." The Ertzainas ended up on the ground, stole walkie-talkiesand handcuffs and there were attacks, and two Ertzainas were injured, "Zupiria said.
The Ertzainas who acted in Azpeitia were carrying body cameras , so there are recordings to verify the account of the events.
Zupiria Mayor of Azpeitia Nagore Alkorta (EH Bildu) has noted the "lack of protection" from the presence and conduct of the Ertzaintza , considering that the Ertzaintza security device was "disproportionate".
The counselor has pointed out that these statements show that "the Ertzaintza is a policeman who is not loved in Azpeitia and that the citizens do not want to see our Ertzainas in uniform on the street, doing their job", which he has said is "very worrying".
"The Ertzaintza is the democratic police of this country. It is for what it is: to ensure security, to ensure coexistence and to do their job," Zupiria added.
In his view, the incidents of the previous day are "extremely serious"and he has shown solidarity with both the Ertzainas who were affected by this situation and with the local police in Azpeitia, which he hopes" will not be repeated ".
According to Zupiria, the events in Azpeitia are similar to those in other municipalities in Gipuzkoa this summer, namely Ordiziaand Hernani. The "common feature" of the three events is that "they occur early in the morning, when people are soaked in alcohol and overflowing with drugs", the counsellor has denounced.
