An ertzaina who was serving as a referee at the Donosti Cup has been escorted to the field by harassment of players and spectators

The referee wanted to finish a game prematurely, considering the behavior of the players to be too violent, which aroused the anger of the players and the audience.

On Friday, a judge left the Zubieta football field protected by security and Ertzaintza personnel after being harassed and insulted by the players and spectators who took part in the match for being ertzainas.

According to reports from the Department of Safety and Security, the man who was serving as a referee at the Donosti Cup is an ertzaina by profession and wanted to finish a match prematurely, considering the behaviour of players on both teams to be too violent .

A few minutes before the end of the game, the referee showed a red card to a player from the Guipuzcoan team who was playing the game, so that both the incumbent players and those on the bench "surrounded him and threw themselves at him".

Part of the audience invaded the field, and security personnel protected the referee and escorted him to the locker room.

Once in the locker room, they continued to insult the referee, shouting "cipayo arbitro", "zipayo hijo de puta", "puto zipayo", "dogs" and songs against the Ertzaintza.

After learning of the incident, several Ertzainas came to the scene and when the camp was depopulated, they helped the judge to leave.

The Department of Safety and Security has "strongly" condemned the incident and expressed its solidarity with the Ertzaina, "who has been the victim of harassment and insults by the public and the players of the game." "These are unacceptable events that directly attack coexistence, "said the Department led by Bingen Zupiria.
