On Thursday, the Piztu Bilbo itzalpetik MTV platform organised a kalejira against the values promoted by MTV in the Casco Viejo de Bilbao. The kalejira ended in front of Arraiga Square. The act of MTV was found in it. The platform has indicated that: "During the MTV concerts at the Arriaga Theatre, which promotes hegemonic cultural values that ruin Basque culture, the pasacalles came to the plaza from the Casco Viejo."
As they have explained, the Ertzainas and the private security in the Plaza del Arriaga attacked the participants in Kalejira. As a result, two persons were identified and one person was arrested on the pretext of alleged attacks on Ertzaintza agents.
In addition to denouncing what happened, the platform wishes to denounce that "MTV has meant the militarization of our streets". In fact, in recent days, an unusual police presence has been observed in the streets of the Vizcaí capital na.Al as happened in the Aste Nagusia, in recent times there is an increase in the presence of the Ertzaintza and local police in areas of great affluence.
As explained by the Piztu Bilbo Ortu MTV platform: "In the face of the economic and political power that wants us to shut up and dominate, we are going to take the streets and build a city model built on the neighborhoods, on feminism and on the solidarity welcome".
