Zupiria warns that some sectors will use the police as an excuse in the clashes this summer
Counselor Zupiria has answered a question from EH Bildu about Saturday's incidents at Loiu airport.
The Basque Government's Security Adviser, Bingen Zupiria, has warned that some youth sectors will use the police as a pretext for fighting this summer.
Zupiria responded in the Control session to a question from EH Bildu Gorka Ortiz's Member of Parliament in Guinea about the incidents at last Saturday's reception of members of the Global Sumud Flotilla at Loiu airport.
In her reply, the counselor referred to the lyrics of a song that is being used in the 'Bada Garaia' initiative and refers to the Ertzaintza. "This is the warning for this summer, the excuse that both young people will use to settle disputes without anything having happened before," she warned.
Zupiria has also condemned the recent disrespect for authority, including the police, which "cannot be taken normally."
"We do not accept it," he told EH Bildu's parliamentarian. "In recent decades, under the cover of self-government and with the law as a criterion of conduct, a model of democratic coexistence has been built in the Basque Country and unfortunately some have been absent."
With regard to the incidents at Loiiu airport, he recalled that he has publicly acknowledged that there has been "some dubious and reprehensible behaviour" and that he will take the necessary measures to ensure that such incidents do not recur, but that he will not renounce "the public or social spaces in which the presence and work of the Basque police is necessary".
Ortiz de Guinea has said that the counselor has sided with "the deniers who say that there is no problem within a section of the Ertzaintza," in the same way that "the PP and Vox have defended and applauded."
