When he had not yet denounced, on Sunday at noon, the City of Beasain published the document, agreed by all parties. "At the moment we are facing an alleged attack," the note says. "The clarification of the facts collected is in the hands of the Ertzaintza and the medical services and the investigation continues. In this context, the City Council lends its full cooperation to the complainant and his family.

The municipal groups state that they ratify the joint declaration made on the holiday portal. "Sexual assaults are direct attacks on people's freedom, on people's dignity and are unacceptable. Parties must be free and secure. Aggression is not the result of a fun and banal game, but of machist violence. That is why we call on the people to actively engage the whole of society in dealing with these facts. The City Hall will do it too."

A protest and support rally for women was held in Beasain on Sunday afternoon, convened by Itaia.
