Overview
- The commission has formally proposed a €60,001 fine and a one-month stadium closure, citing support for radical followers through murals, graffiti and stickers at Mendizorroza.
- The sanction is not yet imposed, and Deportivo Alavés says it will file appeals while defending the murals as part of the club’s legacy.
- Iraultza announced it removed identifying references from the stadium murals the day before the proposal was made public, sharing before-and-after images on social media.
- Antiviolencia says earlier measures such as red X coverings and “Censurado por el coordinador de la Ertzaintza” notices did not eliminate the underlying imagery, following an initial €40,000 proposal on October 28.
- Alavés argues interventions on the exterior facade fall to the city, as the stadium’s owner, while the club’s record includes roughly thirty sanction proposals since 2015–16, many not ultimately executed.
