Almost 100 migrant people live in a forest between Berango and Getxo
  • Since October last year, nearly 100 people of Maghreb origin have raised several locations. The Police received an order several weeks ago to expel them from the forest, as reported by the Department of Security.

Recently, the eviction of a wooded area between Berango (Bizkaia) and Getxo (Bizkaia), along with the fully burned motorway BI-637, has been reported. In fact, since October 2023, almost a hundred migrants have lived in different sites created in the area. They are all of Maghreb origin, apparently.

It seems that the police forces received the expulsion order a few weeks ago from the persons referred to in the abovementioned places of stay. These are tents located on a private plot. According to various means, the owner of this plot has been the one who has given the warning to the police and has called for the release of migrants.

Although police forces have driven them out of these precarious settlements, no one seems to have guaranteed a housing alternative to all displaced persons. Deia's own journal, for example, has acknowledged that "saturation" is the predominant note in "health care resources in the area of Uribe Kosta and Getxo", which "prevents, at the moment, giving greater coverage to these people at risk of social exclusion".
