A 19-year-old was arrested and spent the night at the Bergara police station, where he was arrested. According to the police, he refused to identify himself and attacked the Ertzaines, who were accused of "an attack on authority", and was therefore arrested. On the contrary, witnesses have denounced that this version is false, that the young woman was not drinking and that the police acted with a force of the most extreme.

To denounce this fact, a concentration was held on Monday in which many parents and young people from Legazpi participated. In other localities, more than one police intervention has been reported against the people on the street in these times of pandemic.

According to Naiz Irratia, “The Sabbath was terrible, we ask those who manage the ropes of the Ertzaintza to reflect.”
