Bernedo's mother said, "We have not denounced an ideology, but a series of facts; we demand that our daughters be heard."

Mothers of girls who have been victims of sexual freedom crimes at the summer camp in Bernedo have called for measures to prevent a repeat of what happened.

Mothers of underage girls who were victims of crimes against sexual freedom at the summer camp in Bernedo (Álava) have sent an open letter to the media after 10 months of "silence" calling for the organizers of the camp to acknowledge that "some things were done wrong" and calling for measures not to repeat what happened.

The "Mothers of Bernedo" group has lamented the politicization of what happened: "We have not denounced an ideology, we have denounced a series of facts." Moreover, they have described many of them as "Basques, feminists and abertzales." They have therefore found it "painful" to want to identify with some ideological space.

According to these mothers, who have been silent for the past 10 months to "protect" their daughters, it has been "hard" to hear "opinions from those who have not known what has happened" and "partial accounts."

Now, however, they think they cannot remain silent, lest the "voices of their daughters" remain hidden.

On the other hand, mothers regret that all this "might have been different." "It was enough to talk to us, to listen to our daughters, to try to understand what had happened, and to act accordingly."

The Alavesa Council imposed a fine of 9,000 euros on the Sarrea Association, the organizer of the camp, and disqualified him for three years.

In any case, a judge in Vitoria-Gasteiz yesterday overturned the ban on organising the summer camp in Bernedo.
