As the yoke has received, after half an hour of concentration, a member of the Inter-Action talks about the consequences that betting houses can bring. Soon there will be an expansion of a local of the company Reta that promotes sports betting.
In the past few days the new place has been glued with posters to indicate that it is not welcome in the village. The three-week campaign has ended, although it has been reported that it leaves open the door for more projects to be carried out in the future.
The announcement poster indicated how the betting houses see themselves: "A few are designed to make a fortune, sell the dream of easy money, cause serious economic problems for the population and cause diseases such as gambling."
Azpeitia is not the first protest against betting houses. Previously, similar dynamics have been launched in the Gamonal neighborhood of Burgos and in Moratalaz in Madrid. In both cases they are campaigning against betting houses, denouncing that they are promoting gambling among many young people in the neighborhood.
In the Gamonal neighbourhood of Burgos, mass protests have been held, especially after a young man in the neighbourhood committed suicide. This young man was in debt and many agents attributed the death to the betting houses in the neighborhood. The neighborhood was filled with bargains and a demonstration was held. A list of five-point proclamations was read at the end of the demonstration. You can read the original here.
- The City Council of Burgos has been asked to remove gambling advertising from public spaces, such as buses and billboards, so that they are not exposed to minors and other risk groups.
- That the City Council does not grant licenses to this type of business in their city.
- Eliminate advertising in sports events and spaces.
- Stop using the media to promote gambling and gambling.
- Get these businesses out of their neighborhoods.
