Tension in Lasarte-Oria during a protest against Vox's presence
The Ertzaintza has set up a security cord around the Vox table, where it has tried to dismantle the congregations, and at the last minute there have been moments of tension. The PSE-EE of Lasarte-Oria, EH Bildu, PNV and Elkarrekin Podemos have also condemned the presence of Vox in the town.
This Friday there were moments of tension in the protest against the installation of an information table by Vox in the centre of Lasarte-Oria (Gipuzkoa), which forced the Ertzaintza to intervene.
Vox announced that he would set up an information desk at five o'clock in the afternoon in Okendo Square, where a hundred people have gathered to protest the presence of that party, insulting and shouting 'Get out of here'.
The Ertzaintza has set up a security cord around the Vox table and tried to dissolve the congregates, causing some tension in this esplanade in the center of Lasarte-Oria. In the square you could see some banner with the slogan 'Fascists out'.
Although the tension has been high in the afternoon, around 8:00 there have been shots of firecrackers and some pedruscos, as well as several loads of the Ertzaintza against those gathered to protest against the presence of Vox.
PSE-EE, EH Bildu, PNV and Elkarrekin Podemos have rejected the presence of VOX in Lasarte-Oria and have issued a joint statement stating that "the defence of democracy must be a priority".
"A number of regressive political groups worldwide are gaining strength and are trying to bring us back to the past. In view of this, this City Council is looking to the future, with the aim of a future based on community cohesion and democratic coexistence," the text adds.
In the declaration, the signatory municipal groups call on citizens not to fall into provocation and to continue to deepen democratic values.
