Overview

• Basque security chief Bingen Zupiria said police are probing reported incidents involving adolescents at a Bernedo site that is not listed as an educational center or in any public registry.
• Families of youths aged roughly 13 to 15 report monitors required mixed showers without swimwear and at times showered with campers, with covered mirrors and a crude drawing reading “on egin” noted at the facility.
• Sarrea Euskal Udaleku Elkartea denies forcing anyone to undress and says it proposed removing swimsuits for hygiene and to normalize body image, stressing its volunteer-run model and long history.
• Parents describe at least one alleged sexual incident among minors with an inadequate response from staff, and several adolescents have received psychological care after returning home.
• Bernedo’s town council referred the case to the Ertzaintza, provincial and regional departments say they neither subsidize nor oversee the activity, and political figures have demanded explanations and child-protection protocols.
