Arribil• himself, who resided in a bar after being evicted from his house, publicly denced that, as it was not the right place for the postoperative period, he had been refused the operation to change the heart valve.

Last September, the patient was admitted to a hospital and died of a myocardial infarction a few days after the tragedy. According to sources from El Salto, the patient with aortic stenosis is the usual consequence of this condition.

Iñaki Uribarri, a member of the Argilan-ESK platform, has reported in Hala Bedi Irratia that he has not known such serious cases in recent years that he has been on the platform. He criticized that “it has been the perfect storm of institutional inhumanity”, and does not understand how the usual procedure is not followed: to give a new space to those who do not have a decent housing to pass the postoperative period to be able to pass the postoperative period properly.
