A group of migrants detained in Donostia-San Sebastian with a fake gun was being threatened, according to Irutxuloko Hitza
- “It’s going to them and it’s just pointing at them,” Irutxuloko Hitza said. The man was arrested at 21:30 a.m. on Tuesday night, as reported by the Basque Department of Security.
On Tuesday, Ertzaintza arrested a young man in the gardens of Alderdi Eder in Donostia-San Sebastian accused of threatening his neighbours with a mock gun. The Department of Security of the Basque Government has reported that the events occurred at 21:30 pm and the man is 28 years old, according to News from Gipuzkoa.
Several media outlets have reported this event, in which the detainee "threatened passersby", but Irutxuloko Hitza has specified that the man had as "objective" a group of "Maghreb" citizens in Alderdi Eder. “It’s going to them and it’s just pointing at them,” the media reported, ensuring that this is what they see in the images they receive.
The journalist Xalba Ramírez, the author of the news, has linked what happened to the increase in xenophobic messages being produced in Donostia: "This other version" has been released by several social media accounts that broadcast xenophobic messages in Donostia-San Sebastian under the pretext of security. They include: 'Apparently, this person received threats from a group. And he came back to scare them, because I was sick, like many others. He only addressed this group, and it was not something generalized and decontextualized against all ‘pedestrians’.”

If you get it right, a gesture is probably more effective than a word. How many times have we said and canceled that a thousand words are worth more than an image. Forgive, it's the other way around. It's not how much each one is worth, it's why. Words for those who want to twist... [+]
Imagine that for an institutional barometer you're asked, "How do you see white people compared to the rest of society: more conflicting/more honest/more working-class/more supportive?" Would it be exceptional? On the occasion of the International Day against Racism and Xenophobia, 21... [+]
