• The opposition: The PP demands Pedro Sánchez to prohibit the act against the Civil Guard in Alsasua or immediately dismiss the mayor
  • The facts: Crispation in the Civil Guard for the passivity of the Government before an act 'abertzale' in Alsasua

For almost 70 minutes the center of Alsasua (Navarra) became this Saturday a coven against the Civil Guard in which a thousand young people, adolescents and children participated who with absolute impunity called the members of the Armed Institute "murderers", they simulated the practice of torture in a performance in the town square and they came to make a unique "offer" to the State Security Forces.

"Let them hand over their weapons and dissolve them," the two spokesmen put to them as an ultimatum, who amid applause and irrintzis called on their co-religionists to repeat next year.

Because neither the Covid-19 nor the National Court and, of course, neither the Alsasua City Council prevented the demonstrations known as Ospa Eguna (The day of goodbye). A farewell to the police forces among which the Civil Guard - with a barracks in Alsasua - is a special fixation for the gangs of young people dressed in Victoria shoes, Adidas shirts and Vans sweatshirts.

The annual party of the radical youth of Alsasua counted on the spectacularity of the flares to start and close a demonstration presented as kalejira , in which its participants paraded through the streets of the center of the town while teenagers on bicycles with phosphor vests stopped the traffic .

The slogans chanted

The distant presence of Civil Guard vehicles reinforced the long thousand participants who with hood and mask paraded under the sirimiri. The shouts of "Murderous Police", the barking when a police vehicle was observed, the accusations that "the police torture and murder" and the Alde hemendik, utzi pakean ( Get out of here, leave us alone, in Basque) occurred while several of its members disguised as civil guards and Navarre police officers pretended that they were targeting their fellow protesters.

The organizers of this mobilization, which began in 2010, had all kinds of facilities to multiply the spectacular nature of the closing ceremony of this edition. In addition to the huge stage planted in the town square, the young radicals set up firecrackers and flares over the Town Hall's Tourist Office, located in a railway carriage, and they placed a huge banner on the facade of the Iortia cultural center, hanging down from its roof. .

Boys and girls as young as 10 protected from the rain in the arcades of the Burunda pediment watched in astonishment the spectacle displayed by those who shouted in Basque "The people will not forgive".

And it is that the hatred towards the Civil Guard fed by those who call themselves an "antirepressant movement" threatens to spread among the next generations. Almost like a game, boys and girls danced to the hits of Euskadi Gaztea (the music station of the Basque radio and television) and applauded the six girls who represented the alleged torture carried out by the Civil Guard with batons and even a white bag tied to their heads .

The vanguard of the 'abertzales'

"Organization and struggle", the spokesmen from the stage demanded to the assistants to combat the "virus" represented by the State Security Forces. "Be alert every day", the organizers summoned their followers to their "suspicion" that "the repressive forces are not about to comply with our proposal", to refer again to the idea that a police force abandon its functions and surrender their regulation weapons before hundreds of young people who have become the vanguard of the Abertzale left in Navarra.

The protesters also reminded their "colleagues and friends" how they rated the eight sentenced by the Supreme Court to jail terms of up to nine years in prison for attacking two civilian civil guards and their partners in October 2016.

The celebration of the mobilizations against the Civil Guard in Alsasua took place while, just 100 kilometers away, Manuel Indiano's companions together with the mayor of Zumárraga, Mikel Serrano (PSE-EE), recalled the murder of the PP councilor on 19 August 2000.

The then president of the Basque PP and currently parliamentarian Carlos Iturgaiz denounced that the "hatred" that the terrorist gang used against Indiano to try to justify his murder is now the one that hundreds of young radicals brandish to demand the withdrawal of the country's Civil Guard Basque and Navarre.

"The Civil Guard does not have to leave; those who have to leave this land are those who hate and those who justify the murders and violence, the proetarras, who continue to apologize for terrorism and are the ones who really do this land of the Basque Country ", Iturgaiz defended, after an emotional act presided over by the president of the Basque PP, Amaya Fernández , and the first socialist mayor of Zumárraga.
