As reported by the striker himself on his Twitter account, the attack occurred in the Aramotz district of Durango, when a piquet informativo.Los riot ertzaines approached them and hit them. When the striker reproached the blow to the Ertzaintza, the Ertzaintza asked him to identify, in Spanish. The striker described him as a "threat" when he responded in Euskera, and told the authority that he would be charged with a crime of contempt.

The concentration was held in front of the Durango police station on Wednesday afternoon. Several people met to express their apoyo.El striker, as explained in Anboto, has received numerous messages of support following the attack and has been grateful.

The Euskal Herrian Euskaraz platform has described the aggression as "unacceptable", and has demanded that the Basque Government and the Ertzaintza not charge any fines and take steps to ensure that this does not happen again. For its part, it has called on citizens to "firmly maintain their linguistic rights" and has called on them to denounce the violations they suffer.

Then the full EHE reading on the subject:

We are here to denounce what happened in Durango on the occasion of the General Strike of 30 January, among other things, to many Basques and Basques who have violated civil and linguistic rights, reaching one in particular to identification, not to cheap violence.

The defendant asked an ertzaina to speak to him in Euskera and, in addition to not being able to do so, when asked by an ertzaina for the reason of his identification, he indicated that he threatened her.

Therefore, the mere fact of speaking in Basque (whatever) is a threat in our people, especially for those who do not know Basque and have no intention of learning. In addition to the beatings without any reason, the Ertzaintza identified him and told him that they would open a dossier with what is known as “contempt of authority.”

In short, it is unacceptable that a police officer does not understand Euskera and wants to charge a crime or misdemeanour punible.Se violated
our civil and linguistic rights, imagining us once again oppressed. You condemn, you know that we will continue to disobey policemen, authorities and laws that violate the rights of Basque workers.

These facts are very serious. It is the Ertzaines themselves who are supposed to have the power to protect citizens’ rights that infringe citizens’ linguistic rights. We say that they are serious but unfortunately we cannot say that they are an exception. The Basques, the citizens we want to live in Basque, suffer this kind of event every day. Both in the private and in the public sphere. They want to relate to the public administration in Euskera and often they cannot. Not only that, as we saw in this case, we Basques sometimes find ourselves with the same imperative attitude as that public official. A perpetual evidential attitude, but changed in forms: that “Tell me as a Christian” of yesteryear, can become, for example, a fine imposed now with the Mordaza Law.

In view of this, we are addressing the Basque Government and the Ertzaintza so that they do not give fines, which is unacceptable today. Not only that, we demand that they take steps to ensure that they do not happen again. In order to do this, it is necessary to permanently euskaldunify all the employees of the administration, not only those who have a public relationship with the citizens, but all the other public employees. As long as there is no total Euskaldunisation of the public administration, violations of language rights will be constant. It is not enough to put a veneer and carry out propaganda campaigns during the eleven days of Euskaraldia, let alone, if during the rest of the year the rights of citizens are violated.

We also call on the citizens to maintain their linguistic rights firmly. Let the sovereign Basque attitude that we saw on the day of the strike be on a daily basis. Only in this way will we achieve the total normalization of the Basque Country and, therefore, come to live in Euskera. And we appeal to them to denounce the violations they have suffered. I do run Euskarazi in Euskal Herria, but above all I denounce it at the Observatory of Linguistic Rights.

Joseba Sarrionandia once wrote that speaking in Basque is against normality... And yet, in a town where Euskera (for the capitalist patriarchal system) is a threat, a dignified life from Euskera and Euskera!
