The Zaldibar Argitu platform condemns the Verter company to make a warehouse for the landfill
  • The Zaldibar Argitu platform has pointed out that it is "difficult to understand" that the Basque Government grants the company Verter Recycling the licence for the construction of the safety store, as this company is the owner and responsible of the landfill where it fell and has shown that it has committed many infringements. The platform has denounced that "an emergency law has been used to turn soils into landfills" and that "an interim government" has made the decision. As an argument for the construction of this warehouse, he pointed out that "it is morally very low to use" the two workers who are still buried in the landfill.

On 30 June it has been known that the Basque Government has given the company Verter Recycling 2002 permission to expand the provisional landfill that has been built in the lower part of the landfill where Zaldibar fell, thus becoming a safe deposit and collecting the waste falling into the waste disposal.

The Zaldibar Argitu platform, for its part, has been critical of this decision, according to Berria, on the one hand, pointed out that it is "difficult to understand" because it is the company itself that owns and therefore is responsible for the landfill and "after all the infringements it has committed". The platform explained that "an emergency law has been used to turn soils into landfills, without taking environmental measures into account", a decision taken by "an interim government". He criticized that the Basque Government had given as an argument to justify the decision of the Basque Government that the location of the warehouse would facilitate the search for the bodies of Alberto Sololuze and Joaquín Beltrán: The platform has described it as "embarrassing" and "very low moral" that these two people "be used in this way."

On 4 July, the Zaldibar Argitu platform convened a demonstration in Eibar, which will tour the streets of Gipuzkoa.
