According to the socialist party, their headquarters in Cruces, Txurdinaga (in Bilbao), and Trapagaran have suffered graffiti on their facades in recent hours. The messages read 'María José Baños askatu' ('Freedom for María José Baños') and 'PSOE hiltzaile' ('PSOE murderer').
“"Sadly, socialists know what violence, intimidation, or sabotage by these types of cowards are, but they never managed to break us or deceive society, and they won't now."
The Executive Commission of the Bizkaia socialists has expressed its 'strong condemnation' of these events, which its Secretary General and Vice-Lehendakari, Mikel Torres, described as 'intolerable and unjustifiable attacks'.
“"They do not know what democracy, coexistence, and respect are."
In the words of the leader of the Bizkaia socialists, 'the perpetrators of these types of actions demonstrate that they do not know what democracy, coexistence, and respect are'. Therefore, he finds it 'regrettable' that it is still necessary 'to continue denouncing these acts today'.
Furthermore, Torres has asserted that 'the socialist Casas del Pueblo are spaces for encounter, respect, and plurality open to all citizens' and, consequently, 'sabotaging them is also an attack on Bizkaia society, which no longer believes any lies from those who do not know the meaning of respect'.
