Two of the arrests have taken place in the village of Hazparne. Another platoon has been very ugly, and the fourth has been in Bordeaux, in San Mamés. Euskal Irratiak has contacted the Baiona prosecutor, Jerome Bourrier, and has confirmed to the media the existence of arrests. Berria has also spoken to Bourrie and told him that young people are being accused of "nationalistic jargon and disorder" and that the investigation is in the hands of the Pau Police.

Shuti Gazte! The initiative has denounced arrests through social media: "The French State faces young militants who want to live and work in the Basque Country. The problems of youth cannot be answered by repression.” Faced with repression, solidarity and struggle," said the Socialist leader of Iparralde. In a statement, EH Bai denounced the "criminalisation of youth", expressed "absolute support" for detainees and demanded their freedom. “The French state continues with the recipes of the past. It denies the demands of the majority and puts an end to the repression and criminalization of youth.”

The four young people, who have been released without charge, have been released tonight.

Mobilisations

This Wednesday at noon a concentration was held at the Bernat Etxepare Lyceum in protest at the arrests. In addition, demonstrations have taken place in the area during the afternoon. The demonstrators have concentrated in front of the village house in Itsasu and have held a mass demonstration. They have met in the Church of Hazparne square.
