A dozen of Carlos Sobera at RETA headquarters in Rekalde, in action against betting houses
- A dozen people who make up the assembly of precarious young people Eragin Bilbao have come to the headquarters of the company RETA in the bilbaíno district of Rekalde, dressed in the masks of television presenter Carlos sobera, to ask that the "nauseas companies" take advantage of the "shameful economic situation of young workers".

The Eragin Bilbao Assembly has explained that the aim of betting houses is "to take advantage of the shameful economic situation of young people of the working class and to attract them to the game to achieve more ludopae".
"A month ago, we presented a motion against these companies at the City Hall of Bilbao, to limit their presence in our neighborhoods. But given the seriousness of the situation, the municipal government (PNV-PSE) decided to look the other way. It may not give any importance to this problem, or it may have done so with companies like RETA and KiroBet to take advantage of clientelism and the possibility of plugging in the little friends, but we're not going to stay looking at the ground."
Carlos Sobera, being the protagonist of the ads of 888 betting houses, has been in charge of dressing the mask.
