Dozens of people have been evicted from the old convent of Aranzadi in Pamplona on the occasion of the start of rehabilitation work
The City Council has offered temporary accommodation solutions to most of the 75 people who slept in the former convent of the Augustines, where there will be a health centre for neurological recovery.
The Pamplona Municipal Police took out thismorning dozens of people who lived in precarious conditions in the former convent of the Agustinos nuns in Aranzadi Park du to begin work on the rehabilitation of the building.
Around 06:30, municipal staff from the Social Action Area, the Foral Police and the Municipal Police have accessed the premises of the former convent of Agustinas and informed the people who were staying there that the works were about to begin and that they must leave.
The City Council has reported that they have been helped to pick up their belongings and have been given the opportunity to go to the "On Egin" municipal dining room on Carmen Street, where they have been offered breakfast and lunch, and the City Council ofPamplona has provided them with various types of residential resources to provide a temporary solution to their situation.
The closure of the site took place around 09:00 and an hour later, around 10:00, the contracting company that will carry out the rehabilitation work has already begun. The work began this morning with the delimitation of the perimeter of action and the introduction of excavators into the area.
After the nuns left it in 2011, in 2015 the City Council of Iruño acquired ownership of the building. Since then and to this day, the building has been unused and has been abandoned.
At the end of the work, the building will host a socio-health centre specializing in neurological and functional rehabilitation and in residential, continuous and palliative care.
Focused on residential resources
The City Council has reported that of the 75 people in the building this morning, 51 have been allocated to temporary resources: 8 to municipal hostels with a three-day stay; 10 to hostels in other municipalities; and 33 to hotels and pensions with a three-day stay paid for by the City Council.
Of the remaining 24 persons, 5 are registered in other localities and have been assigned to local services; three receive a guaranteed income and a list of accommodation rooms has been made available to them. Eight persons had a residential alternative and five have refused to cooperate with the Pamplona City Council. The remaining three persons have been refused relocation because they were convicted by the City Council's social services of embezzlement or violent conduct.
As reported by the City Council, the waiting listof floors for the homeless\u00A0 Casa Bat is more than 50 people; the waiting list is even higher in residential emergency flats with more than 300 people, so the City Council of Pamplona has requested the collaboration of other municipalities and the Government of Navarre to seek, as far as possible, complementary residential alternatives.
