Eight accused of protesting Vox in Bilbao agree with the Prosecutor’s Office and one of them will appear in the trial

On Monday, the trial began against the nine members of Vox who boycotted the Vox rally in the bilbaíno district of Atxuri. During the 2019 general election campaign, several residents protested against the Vox rally in Atxuri, and the Ertzaintza arrested three people and identified six others.
The trial was held between 18 and 20 November and eight of the nine defendants have reached an agreement with the Prosecutor ' s Office and the prosecution, so they have withdrawn the most serious charges, including those of hatred and resistance.

Vox seeks four years in prison for a hate crime and one year in prison for an electoral crime. The Prosecutor’s Office, for its part, asks for seven months in jail for an electoral crime and three months in fine for a minor threat. “I work with vulnerable groups and migrants; I cannot accept that what I did was a crime,” he explains eldiario.es.
