Five old nuns were prevented from leaving the convent of Orduña, after the religious had driven them out of Belorado
They had prepared a special transport adapted to the needs of the elderly monks, but they have not been able to use it because the rebel nuns refused to hand over the keys. Moreover, today's operation has been described by these nuns as "kidnapping and abuse of authority."

A judicial entourage, accompanied by civil guards, representatives of the Archbishop of Burgos and several Clarisas nuns, attempted today to enter the convent of Orduña (Bizkaia) to transfer five elderly religious persons from the monastery of Belorado, without success.
The elderly religious are in Orduña, after the rebel nuns had taken them there in the evening, after the judge had ordered them to vacate the convent of Belorado the day before.
According to sources close to the convent, the aim of the intervention was to rescue the five elderly Clarisas.
They had prepared a special transport adapted to the needs of the elderly monks, but they have not been able to carry out the operation, as the rebel nuns have refused to hand over the keys. In addition, the attempt has been describedas\u00A0 "kidnapping and abuse of authority" .
The spokesman for the nun cismatic, Francisco Canals, has denounced the threatof the judicial procession "to knock down the door and arrest those who prevented their transfer." In this context, rebel nuns have warned the media and expressed through messages that the five elderly religious "do not want to leave the convent" and their willingness to remain in Orduña.
On Friday afternoon, most of the rebel nuns left the convent of Belorado to meet in Orduña, as confirmed by nearby sources, while representatives of the Archbishopric and members of the Clarisse Federation of Aránzazu stressed the need to disperse older nuns and transfer them to other monasteries for better care.
Judicial sources have pointed out that in the attempt to enter Orduña, three out of five nuns have explicitly expressed their desire not to leave, while the other two, due to their age and state of health, have not been able to express their will clearly.
