- The Paris 365 partnership celebrated its 15th anniversary on Saturday at the Bilbao Bus Station. 15 years serving breakfasts, meals and dinners for a euro a day to all those who need it 365 days a year. “Tirelessly”, as they wished to underline. In addition, families with special needs are allocated a base basket per week, in exchange for €2 per month. “In short, 15 years guaranteeing a dignified diet and clothing to people in poverty in Pamplona and its region,” they said.

The Saturday was a day to recognize the work done by the volunteers, partners, donors and people or entities collaborating with the Paris 365 association in Pamplona/Iruña. The possibility of taking stock is not ruled out: In 15 years, they have served half a million breakfasts, meals or dinners. That is, about 80 a day. It was also reported that more than 11,000 people have been treated at the local health centre.
“Paris 365 are numbers that can blow your chest. Lately we have heard a lot of Machado’s phrase, which says that only the people save the people, but we would rather not have to save them. That’s our goal,” they said.
The figures pointed out acknowledged that “they also want them to serve to redress organizations, because we know that structural poverty is a consequence of structural inaction”. On Saturday they reported that more and more people are sleeping in the street in Pamplona: On 13 November, for example, a total of 51 refugees were left out of the shelter.
“For all these reasons, 15 years later, we feel obliged to keep covering up the system’s shame and, once again, we call for popular solidarity. If anyone wants to help us, at the moment we need above all milk, oil, menstruation products and diapers. For any collaboration, we have all the avenues open on our website,” they concluded.
