PP says two youth members were assaulted at its Barakaldo office

The People’s Party says two youth members were assaulted at its office in Barakaldo, in Spain’s Basque Country.

The party says a group of hooded people broke a window by throwing an electric water heater at it, then hit and insulted the two young men when they came outside.

The incident happened around 6 p.m.

during a march linked to Wednesday’s general strike.

Police attended, and the two men filed a complaint; party leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo said they were in hospital.

The party condemned the violence, while its Bizkaia leader said political differences cannot justify attacks.

The party wants those responsible identified and held to account, but no further steps are specified.
