In a statement, the PAH has highlighted that in Pamplona "there are hundreds of families living in a room, the majority single-parent families, with children under their care, who find it impossible to live in hygienic conditions and who are very committed to the possibility of keeping the virus intact and without transmitting it to those around them".

"In the meantime, although it may seem a lie that this pandemic is being experienced, the City of Pamplona continues to keep more than 100 homes of its property closed and empty," the platform said in a statement.

In this sense, the platform of the Casco Viejo has recalled that, at the beginning of the confinement, both the City Hall and the Government of Navarra sent them a list of more than 80 families living in a room, mostly single parents and minors.

The platform asks "how it is possible for the City Hall to keep the apartments closed and for these people, many of them minors, to remain locked in a room" and "how they want the required hygienic conditions to be maintained" and for the children to do the school tasks.

"We've heard all parents talk about the psychological problems that their children can bring in so many days of confinement," they said, and they've wondered if "anyone is worrying about those who live in these overcrowded conditions."
