Young man loses a testicle in a police charge after Spain's victory
The father of the young man, who has preferred to remain anonymous, has given an interview in which he recounts how his son lost a testicle during a police intervention trinc the celebrations of the Spanish national football team's victory. According to his account, officers charged at a group of fans and, in the scuffle, one of the blows struck the young man's genital area, causing the loss of a testicle.
The failure of public healthcare
The most serious part, according to the father, is that the public health centre did not give him adequate care and he had to go to a private hospital to save the other testicle. "The further away from the administration, the safer you are," he jokes. The young man is recovering at home.
Celebrating with the flag, a crime?
Meanwhile, the question on everyone's lips is whether celebrating a title with the flag of Spain has become a "suspicious" act for the security forces. The events took place after the national team's triumph in the Euro Cup, a date that should have been one of joy and that ended with a young man injured for life.
