- On 16 May, it will be a hundred days since two workers from the Zaldibar landfill were buried. The Zaldibar Argitu platform has called for guarantees that they will not be re-produced, that public waste management will be reasonable and correct, and that those responsible will assume their responsibilities. They have called for concentrations at Zaldibar and Elgeta, and have called for photographs to be sent from mountain summits.
Hundreds of days after the disaster, the Zaldibar Argitu platform continues to demand truth and information. They have described what happened in the locality of Biscay as "one of the greatest ecological catastrophes that Euskal Herria has had to suffer" and have criticized the lack of self-criticism of those responsible.
They have pointed out that the search for workers should be a priority issue, and have called for them to be “put to a stop” in that effort and to be provided with the necessary resources. They have reminded the relatives, friends and relatives of the two workers, who have died in an accident at work. Workers in the rescue group also worked without safety measures in the early stages of the dislocation, which has occurred in the area.
They are asking for guarantees that the accident will not recur. They have warned that waste management cannot be left in private hands, but must be public, reasonable and correct. The statement concludes with one last claim: “Until we find the workers, in defense of our health and our lives and until all the responsibilities are clarified, we will continue to work”
Thus, they have called a concentration in Zaldibar at 13:30 hours in the Town Hall Square and in Elgeta at 19:00 hours. They have also encouraged citizens to disseminate their photographs from the hills, using the hashtags #zaldibarargitu and #joaquinetaalbertogoan.
