- A very moving week for people coming to the Street Solidarity Dinners in Donostia. On Monday dozens of people concentrated against them without any authorization and without the intervention of the Ertzaintza, which caused great tension in the area. That’s why Eneko Goia’s City Hall on Wednesday banned the KAS from handing out dinners to street neighbors in the Egia neighborhood. They have denied the allegations made by the City Hall on Thursday at a press conference in which they have announced that they will continue to distribute the dinners. On Friday, several city agents convened a demonstration in solidarity with the KAS for Sunday afternoon in the district of Egia.
The expectation was highest and many people joined the press conference held by KAS with the courts in Egia on Thursday afternoon. The members of the citizens' initiative who are responsible for giving hundreds of dinners to homeless people every night have spoken, with great pain, in an unworthy way. "We are very concerned that the racist and fascist attitudes that are manifesting in the city affect both the municipality and the municipality. Black times are coming," they said. According to reports, the press conference was not attended by the hundreds of people who receive the dinners "for the insecurity they live".
They first took a look at the events. They have given particular importance to the persecution that takes place in the last year through social media accounts What you don't know about Donostia. "They point to, threaten, criminalize and insult KAS members. They have hit the recipients of KAS and for our image, these actions are acts of hatred and crime against humanity and demand criminal prosecution." They have denounced that last Monday the concentration, whose motto was “Security”, had in its sights the KAS dinner and that the Ertzaintza, although present, “did not disassemble it, but authorised it”. There were the three ediles of pp of Donostia-San Sebastian, who insulted and insulted the solidarity, according to Irutxuloko Hitza in the video. According to KAS, they understand and empathise with citizens who suffer violence, but still ask for a more thorough analysis. "It is not acceptable that crime is linked to an entire collective and to a network of solidarity," the collective said.
They report that the Municipal Police of Donostia-San Sebastian has informed them verbally that the City of Eneko Goia has prohibited them from distributing food in Egia, but they do not have official written notification, so they do not know the reasons for the ban. They have thanked their solidarity and ensured that they will continue with the dinners, looking for a third point of the redistribution of the party.
The Councillor for Security of the City of Donostia-San Sebastián, Martín Ibabe, has denied the words of the mayor. The councillor explained that last week there were several seizures of knives, machetes and drugs at dinners and that this has nothing to do with the need to eat, but with crime. "We deny it all. This didn't happen at dinner parties the week before.
They have thanked the Donostiarras for their solidarity and asked them for help in continuing their solidarity dinners, and have reported that they have met several times with the City Hall of San Sebastian.
