A street vendor camp has been dismantled in Bilbao's Gas Square
The mayor of Bilbao has said that the police will continue to work because, in his view, it is unacceptable that "those who come to Big Week to do the street sale should be placed in a city camp." The police, for their part, believe that they may be under the control of the mafias.
The Bilbao Municipal Police have dismantled a manteros or street vendors camp in the Plaza del Gas, in the context of Big Week, which was first evicted from the square on Monday at noon, without major incidents.
The street vendors or manteros set up about thirty tents a few yards from the txosnas. Most of them are young and Senegalese, coming from Madrid, Murcia or Valencia, in order to increase sales during the Aste Nagusia in Bilbao.
This morning, for the second time, the Municipal Police went to Gas Square and knocked down the sleeping manteros there.
Police believe these street vendors may be under the control of the mafias that organize the street sale.
Aburto: "The police will continue to work"
The Mayor of Bilbao, Juan Mari Aburto, has stated that the City Council "is clear that local trade must be protected" and has therefore considered it "unacceptable that those who come to the Big Week street sale should be placed in a camp in the centre of the city".
The mayor said they're "people in a borderline situation," but "neighborhood complaints have been important, and that's why the police have acted to lift them up."
"The police have intervened, and there has been no problem; they have agreed to rise, and it is true that they have returned and gone again," he acknowledged, adding that, in any case, "the police will continue to act" to prevent a camp from being set up again in the Gas Square.
