Puerto and Euskal Trenbide Sarea want to demolish twelve families from Escalerillas, and their neighbors have no secure residential alternatives. So yesterday they went to the port and claimed an alternative for everyone.
Neighbors and Housing Union have collected 2,000 signatures in recent weeks in favor of a residential alternative for all Escalerillas residents. All the signatures obtained were handed over yesterday to the Port Authority of Pasaia, although it gave up the signatures collected and the requirements on which they are based.
