“[Son] You will have to go to the police station to wear moxantillo on the carnivals in the streets of Pamplona.” This was explained by the father of one of the young people, Gaizka Aranguren, in a Twitter message. The Spanish National Police appeared yesterday at his home in Madrid, where he was summoned to apologize. According to the information disseminated by Aranguren himself, there are a total of seven young people who have been called to testify, mostly minors.

It should be remembered that in the carnivals of the Casco Viejo there was a kalejira with several young people disguised as prisoners, and that a van from the Spanish National Police was speedily launched against the attendees of the festival and hit a 14-year-old girl. Instead of calling the ambulance, the police took the child detained in the police van. He later had to be admitted to a hospital because of the presence of a fissure in the pelvis. On behalf of Aranguren, “seven young people want to cover everything by calling the police station.” Aranguren has received many messages of support and solidarity on the local Twitter social network.

On the other hand, the Alde Zahar Initiative has organized a neighborhood assembly to analyze the actions of the National Police in carnivals. It will be on March 6, at 19:30, in the Plaza! Room. The assembly's call was opened before the news of the citation was heard, "Police in the Carnivals: What's happened? What will we do? with the motto.

Today, the Spanish police have come to our house. Now you have your son in the spotlight. A century. Four successive generations. My grandparents, my father, my brother, my son and I. #Colonization
