Several women participating in the Festival of Artziniega have denounced that there have been two homophobic aggressions during the celebrations.
The first of these took place last Friday at the Champs Elisha Theatre. A young woman had insulted and clashed with a woman for her sexual orientation and, apparently, had also tried to attack her physically.
Faced with these facts, the assaulted woman turned to the txosna in which she reported what happened. In Txosna, the protocol was activated and the infrastructure closed overnight.
The women from the different gangs came together to address the issue and made a number of decisions. "This is the first time an aggression has taken place and there is only a txosna protocol in the village," they told Aiaraldea yesterday.
On the one hand, he interviewed the aggressor, who was very happy with the aggression. In addition, a public complaint was made before the Playback Contest. In addition, the closure and protocol of the txosna were supported, as some people did not understand the measure of closing the txosna.
However, following the complaint and the competition, homophobic comments were repeated against two DJs. In any case, the DJs took the responsibility of responding and continued the action smoothly.
The City of Artziniega has denounced and condemned the attacks through social networks and has shown its support for the people affected.
