The fines imposed by the Ertzaintza against Ernai have been revoked or significantly reduced by a court in Vitoria

The Administrative Court of Vitoria-Gasteiz has ruled that the protests organized by the youth organization  two years ago in Vitoria-Gasteiz and Bilbao were perfectly legitimate, even if they were illegal. For this reason, the Ertzaintza has suspended part of the fines imposed on Ernai and reduced the amount of the fines imposed on Ernai.

According to the youth organization Galder Barbado and Aitor Zelaia, the fines imposed by the Ertzaintza on members of Ernai for protests against the imprisonment of young people in 2023 were cancelled and reduced. According to the youth organization, the sentences show that what the Ertzaintza said did not happen in those protests, and Amaiur Egurrola Ernai's spokesman has accused the Basque Government of trying to cover up the real problem.

"This sentence is historic, not only because we have radically dismantled an operation aimed at abolishing Ernai, but because we have exposed the undemocratic, arbitrary and totally disproportionate attitude of the Basque Government and the Ertzaintza," said Egurrola.

At a press conference at the Abando Hotel in Bilbao, counsel for the Tres Abogados office,  Maddi Bilbao, has also spoken. He has said that the sentences have shown that the protests were "perfectly legitimate".

Under the Gag Act, 133 young people were punished;  The Ertzaintza imposed a fine of 2,500 euros on those who participated in the mobilizations in Bilbao and 1,500 euros on those in Vitoria-Gasteiz, resulting in fines of 290,r00 euros.
