The fascists were the rumours of who was going to attend and that has happened. They went to the pride march on 17 June in Biarritz and attacked the participants. The organizers have been laying eggs and after the demonstration have also channelled the attacks, at least one participant. "They seem to be young people who attack isolated people because they did not approach the mass march," explains the media Kazeta.eus Estelle Lesag of the Les Bascos association. The aggressors were black, formed a small group, that is, organized.

Les Bascos intends to denounce it. It calls on those who have been in the process to give evidence. The latest such attacks took place in the 2009 pride march.

Aggression increases

In Justuki, this year’s pride march was to denounce the increased attacks on the LGBTQI community. Les Bascos asks the institutions for greater resources and ambitions to combat discrimination.

Regarding Lapurdi, Nafarroa Beherea and Zuberoa, in the survey carried out by the association this year, it was found that 55% of the LGBTQI aged 11 to 25 years suffer violence as a consequence of the family, and that 43% suffer discrimination within the center.
