The Provincial Council of Álava is meeting today with the families of the Bernedo colonies
Representatives of the Provincial Council of Álava and the families of minors who participated in the summer colonies in Bernedo will meet this Saturday to discuss the situation.
According to Council sources, they will try to gather testimony to verifythe facts and determine the way forward.
The Ertzaintza is investigating what happened in August at a private camp organized by the Sarrea Basque Summer Camp Association in the Alavesa town of Bernedo following a public complaint filed by several families that the monitors "forced" girls and boys between the ages of 13 and 15 to shower together.
In addition, according to testimonies collected by EITB about past users, monitors also entered the showers naked.
The Council has stated that they have never received any complaints about the colonies, however, other sources have pointed out that the Ertzaintzahad previously received a warning . Last year a social worker from the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa warned the police that several minors had suffered similar events.
Educators at the Basque Summer Colonies in Bernedo have publicly claimed to have used "lies, morbo and sensationalism" in media and social media messages and to have suffered "transphobic attacks" onmixed showers . "We have never forced anyone to undress in front of others, "they stress.
