In the statement, the City Council has expressed its closeness and solidarity with the person who has suffered the attack and has largely condemned the fact. “This homophobic attack has broken the respectful coexistence in Hondarribia, so the City of Hondarribia wants to emphasize that all similar actions, such as human rights violations, are out of place, because all people have the right to live in dignity.”

We recognize the progress made in working for sexual diversity, but the aggressions a person has suffered this weekend show the obstacles and the work that remains to be done. We note the need to invest in policies for sexual diversity and non-discrimination of people for their sexual orientation or gender identity,” he says, and is committed to working on it.
