UThe images of El Chiringuito de Jugones have aroused the comments and irony of politicians such as the Vice President of the Government, Pablo Iglesias, and the ERC spokesman, Gabriel Rufin.
These images show how the Athletic players, during this Thursday’s match at Benito Villamarn in the Copa del Rey against Betis, speak and give orders in Euskera. The aforementioned media alleges that they do it so as not to be understood by opponents, something that has caused the reaction of Iglesias and Rufin on social networks.
“Basques speaking Euskera among themselves. Now I know that Spain is breaking down,” commented the Podemos leader. “And watch out, because there are more! Those of Bayern, Juve and Chelsea too”, says the ERC.
AND BEWARE because there are MS!
Those of BAYERN, JUVE and CHELSEA, too !!!! https://t.co/k3zkpo6Xpn

Iaki Williams, last year, in an interview in El Hormiguero, acknowledged that they used esukera to avoid being understood. “That’s true. Sometimes, in the corners especially, to say if they go to the first or the second suit.”he said, answering a question from the ants on the show.
Imanol Alguacil, Real Sociedad coach, has also been asked at a press conference this Friday and has recognized that, although sometimes they only use it because it is their usual language, other times they only use it so as not to be understood by opponents.
