They appear before the local police to denounce this application of the "Mozal law". They remember that on that day of March 8 there was no problem "at the time when we gathered so many citizens together to take the photo. And as we all saw, the local police channeled the traffic, at no time did anyone come near to say anything. In addition, during the afternoon demonstration, the planned route was followed without any change, contrary to what is stated in the report. Although it says it is a report made at the Zarauz Police Station, only the Zumaia Municipal Police were present at the time."
Three points were highlighted during the event. On the one hand, they will not pay the fine because "we understand that the very law on which the fine is based is illegitimate and we believe that the mobilizations carried out that day do not deserve any punishment." They then ask the City Council and Local Police to explain this fine. "A short time ago all the political parties of the Zumaia City Council agreed to a letter presented against the fine imposed on a citizen based on the Mozal Law. Why did you give way this time to a law designed against social movements and civil and political rights? ". Finally, it is also anticipated that this issue will be brought to the municipal plenary on May 17, and every citizen is invited to come to the plenary on that day.
The Feminist Movement believes they are “intentionally obstructing” their work. According to them, the movement is "stronger than ever" and it is announced that on May 19 the tunnel of the road to the train station will be repainted, "We will repaint the passage defined by the women* as the black points of the town".
