Overview
- Professors in the Criminology program at UPV/EHU in San Sebastián canceled a class session after pressure from a portion of students.
- The Basque Government’s Departments of Security and of Science, Universities and Research condemned the boycott as intolerant toward the Ertzaintza and contrary to campus free speech.
- The SIPE union urged the university to resist coercion and maintain the rights of police officers to participate in academic activities.
- PNV leader Aitor Esteban framed the incident as part of a wider questioning of the Ertzaintza by EH Bildu, citing recent disturbances involving radical youth.
- UPV/EHU had not issued a public response at the time of reporting, and the planned session involved officers who also receive training within the degree.
