We have collected the testimony of a young man who, although they have decided to remain anonymous, received numerous blows. Below we detail all the details of the conversation we have had with him.

How were the times when the Ertzaines came out of gaztetxe and threw themselves into the cargo?

Around three o'clock in the morning, at the end of the concerts, as we left gaztetxe and out of the Antixena Park, we saw the blue lights reflected on the wall. One of us gave the warning that there were “cipayos”. In a second, all the Ertzaines jumped together with an extensible porch in their hand. It wasn't a reaction of the moment, they came to play and gave us.

What did the Ertzainas say at the time of the incidents?

Words like “Back, let you go backwards” or “zipaio you call your fucking mother”, all with bad intent and without giving any explanation.

Where were the agents?

On Calle Nueva de Oñati [street below gaztetxe] it was said that there had been an altercation, but if they went out to control that situation, they would not be kept in the car in Plaza de Santa Marina [plaza over gaztetxe].

He explained that one of you used the word “zipaio” to warn your friends of the presence of the Ertzainas. Can it be the direct cause of the incident?

By no means. We also said it in the same tone as we gave the warning among ourselves. They had consciously premeditated behavior, otherwise they would identify us and punish us with the Mordaza Law. However, they had no intention of doing so.

You and your other four friends have gotten the worst difference, but do you think it could happen to anybody else?

It could happen to any citizen who would have participated in any event that day. Our public complaint goes around, we do not give names, but we denounce the situation so that people do not suffer any more.

Agents of the Ertzaintza shall not have a legal trial, but shall have at least a social trial. Let people see how they play and don't dare to do it next time.

He told me that one of the Ertzainas was also launched in front of the gaztetxe. What exactly happened?

That's right. One of the Ertzainas began to hit the door with shouts of “let you go, bumpy”, among others. The young people who were inside the house closed the door and were eventually transferred by another Ertzaintza agent.

How did it all end?

They stood up and left immediately. The Ertzainas fled immediately.

How did they react after the attack?

Having overcome the impotence of the moment, we cast a few cries on the Ertzainas. We were in a state of “shock.” Then we went to gaztetxe to tell him and to seek refuge. Finally, the friends who suffered the worst part went home.

What are the consequences of those who beat you?

We have been hurt for days by the blows received in the body and turning in the head to everything that happened. We are concerned about what may happen by denouncing this situation, but we hope that nothing will happen.

We live the situation with ignorance, leaving next Saturday to the streets and what can happen to us, to our friends or to our relatives. If it goes on like that, anything can happen.

Do you still notice the effects of blows on your body?

Yes, of course. On Sunday morning, when I got out of bed, I had six bruises all over my body, which was a sign for me alone, counting the blows. An ertzaina also hit me and broke the porch, and then tried to punch.

Do you associate it with Jare Barracks Day?

Knowing the date and watching the concerts that were organized at the gaztetxe, some of the young people we were there would have intended to enliven them. If something serious had really happened, they would have identified us and imposed some punishment on us.

Upon his return to the Bergara headquarters, a record will also be filled to explain the reason for his action. After all, there is nothing documented, because they knew they had happened.

The day took place in a festive atmosphere and without moments of tension, what reasons could have come for the agents of the Ertzaintza to show this attitude?

Some of them live there and the lobbies of the victims have to be born there. It is in their interests that there should be violence here.

What has prompted you not to denounce?

After all, the Ertzainas have legal impunity. Even when Iñigo Cabacas was killed, nothing happened to the culprits. We know that if we enter this game we will have everything to lose, even if they are not right. That is why we have not made any legal complaint, but we have made a public complaint for society itself to judge these situations.

According to Goiena, the Ertzaintza has no record that this has happened.

This clearly shows that the young people of Oñati came out to be beaten. They came out to hunt and surprised us. More than caring for someone or maintaining public order, they had the goal of beating people. If something serious had happened, the reason for the burden would be reflected in the Minutes and nothing was put in place.

After a few days, how do you see what happened?

Psychologically, I'm not afraid for myself, but for others, maybe. Until last Saturday I have never been touched by an ertzaina, but I have been in situations of great tension. I'm worried that it's happening to another person and that it's causing us more harm than we are.

As for physical pain, it will disappear within a few days, but it is scary to think that what has happened to us can happen to anyone. For example, I was told that, after the attack, a young man rushed home. They've created fear.

I think it is very clear what happened in Oñati, who picked him up and who went to harm him. We had no intention of getting into trouble and they came to look for us. Then, at the headquarters of the Ertzaintza, they will know what they count and how they experience that situation.

I have nothing to say to those Ertzaines. They will see how they act, but I think this people has judged them.
