On February 15, the judge released the former partner of Sara Majarenas, who in 2017 tried to stab her two-year-old daughter, who was then in the Valencian prison of Picassent. Although the Prosecutor's Office and the private prosecution had asked her ex-partner to remain in prison for the duration of the trial, the judge released her on the grounds that she saw no "risk of leakage".

The mother of Majarenas, Kontxi Ibarrondo, has stated that she does not expect much from justice because they have not shown that work is being done for them. The organizers have called for society to move, as in the group violation of Pamplona, as only social pressure can achieve “real justice”.

The organizers have recalled that Sara and Izar live under fear and threat after their former partner was released on 15 February. “But they are not the only ones: In Hego Euskal Herria, 4,869 women are subject to judicial measures. And there are many more who live under threat but do not have any measures,” he said.
