A thousand ertzainas show up in Vitoria and say they will not taste the Tour

  • According to the government, the Ertzaines who protest have a "narrow", "unrealistic" and "irresponsible" attitude. The head of the department, Josu Erkoreka, asked them to return to the negotiating table on Friday, after lifting the unions at the table and criticizing the "unwillingness" to negotiate the government.
Protestako irudia. Ertzainak Borrokan-en argazkia.
Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

The demonstration starts at 10:00 from the portal of the Basque Parliament, goes through Ajuria Enea and ends the protest in Lehendakaritza, where the heads of government are meeting in the weekly meeting. According to Euskadi Irratia, more than a thousand Ertzainas have come out to protest in the joint call of the unions Erne, Esan, Euspel and Sipe and the ertzaina in Borroka for the asindical movement; the newspaper El Correo has said that more than 2,500 members have met.

The Tour de France, the main male cycling test, will pass through Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa at the end of this week, starting Saturday in Bilbao, Sunday in Vitoria and Monday in San Sebastian. Entering Tour Week, Ertzaintza President Josu Bujanda talked about traffic problems, cuts, adaptations and adaptations in general through interviews in the Basque Country Irratia and ETB1 on Tuesday morning.

On television he was not even asked about the demonstration of the Ertzainas that was going to start in a few minutes, and on the radio, despite asking and insisting – among other things he was asked about his statements that provoked the anger of the Ertzainas; the Ertzaintza acknowledged that "he has problems inside the house" – he preferred not to qualify, unlike the advisor Erkoreka. Last Friday they sat down to negotiate unions and government officials, but they rose from the table: Erkoreka called for an urgent hearing and, after going to the media, stressed that the unions wanted to talk about "linear wage hike only" and that it was not possible or appropriate. He accused the unions of being "narrow," "unrealistic," and "unrealistic."

The unions that protest will remain united in the protest, but they tell them that they will not "hurt" the tour, nor sabotage, or anything like that. The next event will be held on Thursday in Bilbao, coinciding with the presentation of the cycling teams and the celebration of various activities of attraction.
