A 22-year -old young man was arrested tonight in Bilbao for his participation in the incidents registered at the end of the rally that Vox has held in the San Francisco neighborhood . The protesters, summoned by anti-fascist groups, have thrown terrace furniture and glass bottles when the Ertzaintza has charged to dissolve the concentration, and several agents have had to be treated for minor injuries, as reported by the Basque Department of Security .

The secretary general of Vox, Javier Ortega Smith, together with the candidate of Vox for Bizkaia in the Basque autonomous elections of July 12, Niko Gutiérrez , participated this afternoon in a political act in the Plaza Corazón de María , in the Bilbao neighborhood of San Francisco, where the Ertzaintza and the Municipal Police have deployed a strong security device.

More than a dozen autonomous police vans have controlled the area at all times from an hour before the start of the rally, preventing access to the plaza for more than two hundred people who had responded to the call by anti-fascist groups.

The concentrates have continuously shouted "fascists" to the twenty sympathizers that the green formation has mobilized in the Biscayan capital.

After the event, which has passed between whistles, screams of fascists and the noise of saucepans coming from numerous terraces and windows, and when the Vox leaders left the place, moments of tension have been experienced after the anti-fascist groups that they had concentrated in the immediate vicinity they had confronted the agents of the Ertzaintza.

The regional police have thus been forced to charge several times before the launch of stones, bottles and even furniture from the terraces of the bars in the area.

Once the situation was controlled, after 9:15 pm, the Ertzaintza has established a cordon to facilitate the departure of the supporters of the green formation who were still in the vicinity and who have been able to leave the neighborhood escorted.

As a consequence of the altercations, a 22-year-old man has been detained by the Ertzaintza, accused of a crime of attacking law enforcement officers, and several officers have had to be treated for minor injuries.
