• Cruz Roja paramedics provided medical attention at the scene, and Municipal Police and the state prosecutor’s office responded.
• No suspects have been detained, and state authorities have opened an investigation into the attack.
• The CEDH opened a case file and requested immediate protection, saying the incident should not be viewed in isolation given previous threats.
