• A Vitoria-Gasteiz court has launched preliminary proceedings, summoned three identified minors as witness-victims, and tasked the Ertzaintza with finding other affected children.
• Families report mixed showers with 13–15-year-olds, naked monitors, bans on swimwear or underwear, and underwear pulled down without consent, with media also citing claims of public sex by two monitors and other explicit displays.
• The inquiry traces back to January 2024, but the Fiscal Superior says the earlier police atestado never reached the Fiscalía from the court, leaving the matter without required prosecutorial action.
• Organizers and supportive families defend the project and deny assaults, while some institutional figures float a review of child-protection rules even as the regional executive has not formally advanced changes.
