The peroneus Jean-Louis Iratzoki had to be admitted to the hospital after being assaulted by three men during the weekend of 26 and 27 June this year. She was screamed like, "We're in France." It was not the only attack on the Basques at the festivities in the Basque capital.

Despite what happened over the weekend, the news of the aggression was on Thursday. According to the information gathered by Naiz, Iratzoki was on his way home when he was attacked by the agents. As he passed by his brother's home, he spoke in Basque to his nephew, who was on the balcony, and it was then that three men approached him. "We are in France. In what dialect do you speak?” the men asked, and Iratzoki answered them in Basque. After the beating, the assailants left the place and have not yet been identified. Iratzoki spent the night in the hospital.

Although it was the most serious attack, it was not the only one that was committed against the Basques. According to the Mediabask media, two women, who were in France, took into account that they spoke in Basque and identified themselves as such. The publication Kazeta.eus collected the insults suffered by Jon Garmendia, owner of the bar Kaia: With the music of Mikel Laboa set, in addition to the Txistus, he had to listen to “euskaldun putak.”

Councillor of culture, heritage and Basque Country Peio Etcheverry explained to Mediabaski that the violence suffered during the festivities of the last three years "has increased". However, he added that these “stigmatization” actions against the Basques are new.
