Family and friends of the young man beaten by the police call to mobilize against the "impunity" of the officers. It will be on Wednesday at 19:30 at the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca in Vitoria-Gasteiz. No impunity! under the slogan. The complaint is in the hands of the courts, while both agents continue to work, according to Alea.

On 6 March, two local police from Vitoria-Gasteiz beat Aimar, a 16-year-old boy. When he was traveling in an electric scooter he went through a pedestrian crossing, the police promised him to stop and the young man tried to escape. When he was captured, he was knocked down, beaten and broken his nose. The agents told the family that their son had fallen to the ground, but the video recorded by a neighbor shows that he did not.

The event causes dust. The schools, parents and associations of residents of the neighborhood of Zabalgana asked the City Hall of Vitoria-Gasteiz to "root out" these types of attitudes. Marian Gutierrez, PSE-EE Security Councilor, appeared to discuss the case. Among other things, he explained that they had sent the facility to call the parents, but they reported that they had not received calls. The parents left the room denouncing their liking. On the other hand, Gutiérrez sought the presumption of innocence for the two policemen charged until the case was resolved. In addition, EH Councilor Bildu, Iratxe Lopez de Aberasturi, denounced the lack of testimonies to all witnesses on the police record.
