- The verdict of the accusation that the Cork put in the courts has arrived: Construction company acquitted. On November 3, 2015, the Kortxoenea Youth Center, located in the Gros neighborhood of San Sebastian, was evicted by several people with metal bars covered in their faces. The building was then demolished. Members of the collective filed a complaint. "Justice has once again slipped with speculators, the construction company's members have been pardoned," a statement to the press said. They state that they corroborate the testimony they gave at the time with a video.
"In the Basque Country, evictions without the direct intervention of the courts and police in the face of a public and collective occupation such as that of Kortxoenea have not been frequent, although in the Spanish State they have often experienced such situations," they say in the video. The report by La Directa can be read in Basque: Extrajudicial evictions are carried out by a company of paramilitaries and ultra-rightists.
"We want to condemn the sentence itself and the consequences that it entails. We raised concerns about what could be a dangerous precedent. We know that the courts have never been our natural battleground, but given the seriousness of the situation and the concern that they would spread in the Basque Country, we also opted to address the thorny path of the courts that we miss so much."
"Today," the lawyers continue, "we have been shown more clearly than ever that the courts are a link in this inhumane system and that they do not even need to comply with their laws, boasting the flag of impunity."
The email they sent with the video ended up like this: "Along with this, we want to point out that we have one more reason to go out on the streets, and we want to extend the call to participate in the #LifePlus campaign, we will see you on the street! ".
