The Provincial Council of Álava will open proceedings against the Bernedo colonies this week
The file shall be opened in conjunction with the investigation opened by Examining Court No. 3 of Vitoria-Gasteiz and shall be suspended if the case finally reaches criminal proceedings.
Summer camp in Bernedo.
The Provincial Council of Álava will next week open a penalty file against the summer camp in Bernedo organized by the Sarrea Euskal Udaleku Elkartea. According to the allegations filed, the monitors showered naked with teenagers and other actions are also targeted.
This file, which will be signedbythe Deputy of Culture and Sports, Ana del Val, will be processed in conjunction with the investigation opened by Examining Court No. 3 of Asteiz and may be suspended if the case finally reaches criminal proceedings.
Sources from the Council have explained that the aim of this dossier is to ensure that events such as those reported do not recur, but have warned that the measures to be taken cannot yet be specified, since the procedure will be lengthy and, among other things, the deadlines for making allegations will have to be opened.
The deputy announced at a hearing at the General Meetings of Álava on 9 October that he would open a file in which he acknowledged that he was unaware of the "error" of the administrations .
The Provincial Council of Álava was not aware of this summer camp, which has been going on for years, until 15 September. The Foral Youth Institute then received an e-mail from a mother warning of "inappropriate" activities during that summer camp.
Ten days later, on 25 September, when the subject was publicly reported, the Council received two writings from feminist associations reporting very serious events.
As a result , a meeting was held on the 27th with the families affected in Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa, requesting all documentation of the incident and encouraging them to file a complaint with the Ertzaintza. The Council has already sent all the documentation relating to the case to the Public Prosecutor's Office, as confirmed by the sources.
He also requested information from the other Basque institutions. In 2019 the Provincial Council of Bizkaia informed them of a mother's complaint, which was sent to the Basque Government, and the Government of Gipuzkoa informed them of a complaint on 3 January 2024.
The Member acknowledged that the Members of Parliament and the Basque Government had no association in the registers, and that he had never reported on the camps he organized. He is obliged to do so, and that is why a punitive file will be opened.
