Hundreds of Athletic fans have crossed several containers and set fire to some of them this afternoon on Calle Licenciado Pozas in Bilbao and the Ertzaintza had to intervene to disintegrate the fans who had gathered, in the hours before the final of the Copa del Rey, without keeping the measures of social distancing.
Between continuous chants in favor of Athletic, scarves and flags, after lunchtime the crowd barely left free passage on the street, where a lot of safety distance was not respected and it was impossible to know if the groups are of four people as dictated by the normative.
As confirmed by the Security Department, the Ertzaintza has deployed riot police in the area and carried out some charges after being received with the launching of bottles against the agents.
The same sources indicated that some people have crossed containers and thrown objects at Ertzaintza agents.
In San Sebastián there have not been the same crowds, with many people "potando" with shirts of the Real Sociedad in the Old Town, but without so much concentration of people.
