The PNV has made known this Friday an attack with paint against a truck marked with its electoral poster, coinciding with the first official day of campaigning for the general elections on 29 November. The incident occurred near the Bilbaíno neighborhood of Olabeaga, an area in which, at 19.00, the jeltzale formation has scheduled an event with its heads of list to the Congress, accompanied by members of EGI, its youth organization.
As the party has explained, the advertising vehicle was sprayed with orange paint over the large-format canvas on which appear the president of the EBB, Aitor Esteban, the Lehendakari, Imanol Pradales, and the three jeltzale candidates for the lower chamber.
The jeltzales have shared on their social media profiles a video in which the condition of the truck after the assault can be seen, with the paint thrown onto the electoral poster. Alongside the images, the PNV has included a message in which it calls what happened “intolerable” for occurring “on the first day of campaigning”.
In that same post, the formation reaffirms its determination to keep the activity planned until the day of the ballot boxes. “We will continue touring Euskadi until 29 November, and defending the Basques in Madrid from day 30,” the party has highlighted, stressing that it will not change its schedule of electoral events despite the attack.
