During the last plenary of the month in the Parliament of Vitoria-Gasteiz, dozens of young people from the youth organization Ernai have sat in front of the entrances, hindering traffic. They call for the mobilisation of 4 June and support the struggle for decent lives to the leaders gathered in plenary.
The youth struggle is worth it. On the portal of the Parliament in Vitoria we have sat down to argue that fighting for decent lives for young people is not a crime. We will continue to take the streets, #EzGaitezen? On June

In fact, on 15 June, the trial of the seven young people detained in Bilbao began in May last year. Ernaik mobilized on that day in the Basque capital to denounce the situation of young people, and around Sabin Etxea la Ertzaintza rebelled against young people and arrested seven young people. On the other hand, two people had to be treated in the hospital.
In order to denounce the trial and show solidarity with young people, the youth organization has organized a mobilization on Saturday 4 June. The demonstration will start at 17:30 from Plaza Elíptica in Bilbao.
The prosecution has carried out prison sentences of 12 to 18 months and requests for a fine of up to EUR 20,000 against seven young detainees.
They recalled during their speech that ‘it is taking the streets and fighting to reverse the precarious situation and to achieve decent living conditions’.
