Hooded protesters against Vito Quiles set fire to a police motorcycle and attempt to attack a police station in Bilbao

A group of masked individuals set fire to a police motorcycle and attacked the Ertzaintza station in Deusto, Bilbao, following a protest against an event organized by Vito Quiles. The situation escalated with the use of flares and vandalism in the area. The Basque Government condemned the violence that erupted as the protest dispersed. Initially, a peaceful demonstration organized by Gazte Koordinadora Sozialista gathered around 1,500 participants, leading to class cancellations in several schools. Quiles announced the cancellation of his event shortly before it was scheduled, causing traffic disruptions in the city. The police have deployed significant resources to manage the unrest, closing nearby metro stations until order is restored.
