A dummy featuring the Olentzero- a Basque traditional character that brings presents to Basque people at Christmas Eve- was kidnapped by a patrol of the Civil Guard, a Spanish paramilitary police unit.
This dummy is taken every year in a parade through the streets of the Navarre town of Areso. Once in the town square, the Olentzero is left there so that it stays there at Christmas time, the Mayor of Areso, Mikel Bareibar, told Radio Euskadi.
The Olentzero had disappeared in the previous years without a trace. Mikel Bareibar explained that "a patrol of the Civil Guard arrived in Areso suddenly at Christmas Eve at about 02:30 driving with the car lights off, took the dummy inside the car and left". Several people witnessed the "kidnapping".

Hi, luka. Yes, I knew that there were some interest in Basque reality in Slovenia. It helps to see that we are not totaly isolated.
Unfortunately I didn't undestand Slovenian at all.
