Okupa Gasteiz Eguna organizers: "The only reason to deny it is the name."
  • The members of Okupatu Gasteiz have kept the appeal to go to the Okupatu Gasteiz Eguna, called the ban “political censorship” and denounced the attitude of the City Hall of Vitoria-Gasteiz.

On Tuesday, following the ban, a press conference was held on Friday at the City Hall of Vitoria-Gasteiz, according to Hala Bedi. Faced with the negative attitude of the City Hall, “they rose up and ended the meeting”.

The members of Okupatu Gasteiz have denounced that they were only granted one of the places requested and that the City Hall has not shown much willingness to negotiate. In addition, the Consistory "is not an initiative for the city". The meeting said that the other festivals held in the city have not used as many places and the organization taught them that there were festivals that had occupied more places.

Both Hala Bedi, Errekaleor, Gaztetxe and Auzolanak have denounced that this is a “political decision”. The organizers have said that it reminds them of the performance of Alfonso Alonso, of the PP, “I don’t like it and I will throw it away”, recalling his statements against the Gaztetxe de Vitoria.
