Negu Gorriak has called a demonstration on Saturday to denounce the expulsion of the homeless from Aranzadi
The group criticizes the City Council's response, they say, with temporary solutions because the problem is not addressed at the root. They call for "structural measures" for the homeless.
The Negu GorriaK collective has called a demonstration for next Saturday, April 18, in Pamplona to denounce the expulsion of the homeless from the former convent of Arazadi and to show their support for them. The protest will depart at 12:00 from Recoletas Square.
During their appearance at the gates of the evicted building last Monday, they criticized the attitude of the Pamplona City Council because the "solutions" provided are "insufficient." "The residential solutions offered to them are two nights in hotels and then on the street," said Negu Gorriak spokesman Samira Calvo.
He has explained that some 140 people have been left on the street "without alternative accommodation" and has denounced that behind the decision lies the unilateral decisionofthe City of Pamplona. "The macro-eviction has been a decision of Asiron. Neither the Government of Navarre nor the Spanish Government has intervened, nor has there been a court order to do so."
The Red Winters collective believes that the situation will not be resolved by offering "temporary stays" to displaced persons, so they call for a radical approach to the problem and for "structural measures" to be taken.
They have demanded, among other things, to facilitate registration processes for the homeless and to provide long-term accommodation . They have also asked at a press conference for those evicted to be able to collect the items and documentation they have inside the Aranzadi building.
Calvo has also said that in Hego Euskal Herria there is a wave of macro-emptying , and he has explained that Pamplona is not an isolated case. They called for Saturday's protest to denounce all this and make visible the situation of the homeless.
Yesterday,the mayor of Pamplona , Joseba Asiron, defended the need to vacate the building in Aranzadi for humanitarian and security reasons , ensuring that the cases of people who have been left without shelter are being analysed individually in order to provide a temporary solution . He said that the City Council cannot offer a definitive solution because it has no competence to do so.
