  • 12J. Two people arrested by the incidents during a Vox rally in San Sebastián

Five arrested for public disorder, several identified, and two wounded, -a young woman and an Ertzaina-, is the balance of the altercations registered during the afternoon-night of this Thursday in Baralkaldo (Vizcaya) on the occasion of the celebration of a rally of Vox.

The Basque Police officer has suffered various contusions during the confrontations with the protesters, while the young woman has injuries caused by the explosion of a firecracker, according to sources from the Basque Department of Security.

The incidents took place during an electoral act in the Bide Onera square in the manufacturing town, with the presence of the general secretary of Vox, Javier Ortega Smith, the deputy spokesperson for Vox Spain in the Congress of Deputies, Macarena Olona, and the candidate of the formation by Biscay to the Basque Parliament, Niko Gutiérrez.

In the course of the act, the Ertzaintza has charged against the protesters, who have thrown blunt objects and hardware, and have crossed and burned containers.

Before the rally began, which was attended by fifty people, around 6:45 p.m., around half a thousand people stood in front of the Vox leaders, after anti-fascist banners, in favor of the refugees and feminist groups and LGTBI, who have chanted slogans against the party led by Santiago Abascal.

Many Ertzaintza agents have guarded the space in which the electoral act took place and have prevented them from approaching the point where the rally was taking place. On the balconies, the neighbors have exhibited numerous ikurriñas. Previously, some of the citizens have approached Vox leaders to make their presence in the municipality ugly.

After the congregants have proceeded to throw blunt objects, the Basque Police have charged them. Protesters have dispersed through the adjacent streets and crossed and burned containers.

Later, the races continued around the Plaza de los Fueros de Barakaldo. In the adjacent streets, the rioters continued to overturn containers and throw bottles and nuts at the Ertzaintza agents , until after nine o'clock at night, when the atmosphere calmed down.

INTERVENTION

During his speech, the two Vox deputies launched salutes to the Civil Guard and thanked "the protection work" of the Ertzaintza. In addition, at one point in their speech they have displayed a poster for the approach of ETA prisoners to Basque prisons and, after turning it around, they have proceeded to break it into two pieces.

"We are here to recover the truth and the pride of being part of a great country. The PNV and its acolytes abandoned humble people, merchants, youth, and victims. That is why it is so important that from the July 12 our candidates are in Parliament, to compensate the Basques for so many years of hatred, abandonment, loneliness and thinking that the fight against terrorists, against gangsters and corrupt PNV, they had to bear "said Ortega Smith.

Likewise, he pointed out that Vox is "in the middle between the proetarras puppies and all the other Spaniards who want to live in freedom". "We, from Vox, have decided to put ourselves in the middle of making the insurmountable barrier of freedom, of the unity of Spain and of justice, and that is why they attack us, because we face them and we will continue to do so until we defeat them", has added.
