The Basque Parliament refuses to set up a committee of inquiry into the Bernedo camps
The Basque Parliament will not set up a committee to investigate the events in the Bernedo colonies. 21 complaintshave been filed for alleged crimes of sexual assault, exhibitionism and rape of minors. The proposal put forward by the PP has been rejected with the votes of the PNV and the PSE-EE.
The PNV parliamentarian, Aitor Urrutia, has argued that "conclusions are usually drawn beforehand" and that "wanting to hold the institutions accountable for everything is unfair." Urrutia has defended the action of the Ertzaintza, which "has investigated everything and brought it to justice."
EH Bildu, through Eraitz Saez de Egilaz, has criticized Security Counselor Bingen Zupiria for providing information on the origin of the detainees and has called for an "immediate rectification," while Vox has accused the institutions of "shaking their responsibilities."
Since the PSE, Pau Blasi has denied that there has been "laziness and passivity" on the part of the administration and recalled that the camp "was not registered in the registers of the deputies or the Basque Government" and that it was a "private and self-managed activity, without public subsidies or administrative control".
For her part, the spokeswoman for the Group of the European People's Party (Christian Democrats) and European Democrats, Laura Garrido, has denounced the 'absolute slowness' of the Basque Government and has called for 'political accountability'. She has recalled that there were precedents and that the Ertzaintza issued a report in 2024 'doing nothing'.
Finally, the House has adopted the amendment to the whole promoted by PNV and PSE-EE , with the abstention of Sumar and the vote against EH Bildu, PP and Vox. The text "strongly condemns" the facts denounced, reaffirms "zero tolerance" for violations of the rights of the child and proposes the creation of a protocol for the registration and information of entities working with minors.
Furthermore, Parliament urges the Basque Government to develop legislation on youth (2022) and children and adolescents (2024) and to provide psychological and legal assistance to the families concerned in order to "prevent the revictimization of minors".
