The controversial Desokupa company, composed of ultraderechyas, has forcibly evicted a home occupied in the Zelaieta district of Abadiño on Thursday. Through a video recorded inside the occupied house, the head of the company, Daniel Esteve, thanked the Ertzaintza "the help very close" and added that "eight of us have been enough to knock them down, and also, when we have left, the police has made you happy. ".
The Gaztetxe de Abadiño has called to mobilize this afternoon, and hundreds of people have come together to protest the floods. Riot control officers have tried to cut off the road, but they have been intercepted by National Police officers. More than seven vans from the Ertzaintza have come to the concentration, which has been developed in Vitoria-Gasteiz. Demonstrations have subsequently taken place in the streets of Zelaieta and, finally, the main road has been cut. Once the protest is over, the Ertzaines have attacked the demonstrators and a person has been arrested. The disturbances have spread through the streets of the area.
Desokupa, five years since its
start in 2016, members of Desokupa claim that there have been more than 5,600 evictions. It is a company specialized in the "eviction of forcibly occupied dwellings", in "less than 72 hours and throughout the peninsula". However, justice has investigated them on more than one occasion by the violent means used for eviction. One of them occurred in Portugalete in 2019, when a woman filed a complaint against Daniel Esteve for her eviction "for intimidation and rape" of members of the youth organization Desokupa. After the eviction of the gaztetxe Kortxoenea of Donostia-San Sebastián, in 2015 they reported that they were also members of Desokupa.
In July 2015, with the help of La Direct's friends, we made known the paramilitary and ultra-right elements behind the company Desokupa.
