Bilbao Big Week 2024

The affected neighbours have called for a protest on the pier at 21:00. More than 100 signatures have recently been submitted to the City Council to ensure that the noise situation ends and their rest.

Four of the arrests were for touches, all in the festive area, and two others were for breach of restraining orders.

Dozens of people have concentrated this afternoon in front of the bullring Vista Alegre in Bilbao against the bullfighting organized during the Big Week. The PACMA has opted for "popular parties without abuse or death, so that culture and tradition are celebrated without suffering from animals."

As every year, the Sare movement has called for the return home of ETA prisoners, refugees and deportees during the Aste Nagusia in Bilbao, because "it is time to overcome the suffering and build bridges of coexistence in memory of the victims of all violence".

For the weekend, the mayor of Bilbao, Juan Mari Aburto, hopes that joy and joy will prevail and that we will not have to talk about others. 

However, most of the arrests have been for theft or theft.

The Gernika group has created a unique atmosphere in the Europa Park, with a concert on Thursday night, as part of their farewell tour of "crazy" fans, before getting off the stage forever.

In a massive rally in front of the Arriaga Theatre in Bilbao, Bilboko Konpartsak has attacked sexist attacks in recent days, inviting citizens to enjoy the Bilbao holidays, but urging the assailants to stay at home.

The txupineras of the Big Week of Bilbao have gathered this afternoon, as every year, to celebrate the traditional Welcome of the Arenal. They have all shot again, wearing their uniform, in the typical red jacket that Malu Crespo wore 40 years ago.

The artist from Albacete performed last night on the stage of Parque Europa. 

Most of the arrests are related to robbery and robbery with violence, but there have been other crimes, and a man has also been arrested on charges of touching a woman.

With the help of the Bilbao Symphony Orchestra (BOS), the members of Mocedades took the stage of Abandoibarra last night to delight the fans. 

Eight of these arrests took place in the festive area and one outside, most of them related to property offences.

The three artists who were going to perform on the stage of Abandoibarra on Saturday have issued a joint statement challenging the Bilbao City Council, which, among other things, stated that the City Council wanted to leave behind all responsibility for the cancellation of the concerts and tried to prevent the video explanation of what had happened.

Bilboko Konpartsak has gathered this afternoon in the Arenal bilbaíno hundreds of people, under the slogan "Sleeping is not a crime", to support the manteros who slept in the Plaza del Gas, in addition to asking the Bilbao City Council for a housing solution for the manteros and those in a street situation. 

The mayor of Bilbao has said that the police will continue to work because, in his view, it is unacceptable that "those who come to Big Week to do the street sale should be placed in a city camp." The police, for their part, believe that they may be under the control of the mafias.

Organized by Bilboko Konpartsak, dozens of people have denounced the "genocide that Israel is committing." They have formed the mosaic along with the sound of sirens, and have told organizations, parties, and companies that the capital of Bizkaia "sympathizes with Palestine."

Half of the arrests have been for theft and the most significant incidents have occurred in the vicinity of St. Nicholas's Street, Hope and Widow Epaltza.
