More painted against the Ertzaintza have appeared in Amurrio

The union Esan has denounced what happened and has stated that wishing the Ertzainas death is "a message that legitimizes violence against the Basque police" and has called for "immediate and unqualified" public condemnation of all political forces.

Amurrio Ertzaintzaren aurkako pintaketak

Last night's painting on a wall in Amurrio.

Painted against the Ertzaintza last night in the Alavesa town of Amurrio, according to a statement by the union Esan. Previously, specifically three weeks ago, similar paintings appeared in this Alavesa town.  This time you can read the phrase "dead zipaio". 

The majority union in the Ertzaintza, Esan, has denounced the facts "outright" and believes that "to wish the Ertzainas to die is not yet a painting" or "an irrelevant vandalism". It has denounced that this is "a message that legitimizes violence against the Basque police" and is "an expression of hatred and signalling and an attempt to dehumanize those who guarantee security in the Basque Country".

In the opinion of the union, "there is no room for softness" in the face of these paintings, so it has called for "immediate and unqualified" public condemnation by all political forces. It has also called on the Basque institutions  to "position clearly" and to identify and punish the perpetrators. They argue that "anyone who relativizes, minimizes or is silent about these facts is normalizing hatred against the agents".

In this regard, the union has stressed that it will not allow "double speeches" such as "an abstract condemnation of violence while looking the other way when the ertzainas are pointed out."
