A teacher attacked during education demonstrations: “It was brute force against totally peaceful people”
Damián Bernabéu, a Vocational Training teacher, found himself in the middle of a police charge against a concentration of Madrid teachers on strike.
Damián Bernabéu, a 63-year-old vocational training teacher from Jaén, was injured during a protest in Madrid on October 19. He was participating in an indefinite strike by Madrid's teachers over public education, when police charged at him and other protesters near the Palacio de Santoña. Bernabéu was pushed with a police shield, fell to the ground, and hit a wall, leaving him with a large bruise and swelling on his back.
He has since filed a complaint with a court, alleging the use of "brute force" against peaceful protesters.
