The feminist movement of Getxo has lamented that in recent weeks there has been "a machista and constant violence" in the municipality: "These latest facts give us to understand that the violence of the heteropatriarchal capitalist structural system is still more alive than ever by violating our bodies, using us".

Faced with this, they announced that they are not willing to normalize a violence that "is structural and systematic" and that, therefore, does not exist: "We are not willing to be subjected to violence against us," Lehendakari warned in a statement. They also wished to show their solidarity with the women, boys and girls who have suffered machista violence and their families: "We believe you!" ".
