In the vitorian district of Olarizu there are a large number of empty dwellings, and several people and families have occupied some of them for months. On Wednesday, however, Municipal Police officers appeared to remove the occupants from one of the homes and cover the floor. Several homes are already upholstered in the neighborhood.
The evicted family has been moved to the reception centre in Vitoria-Gasteiz, where it can only stay until 10 December. From that day on he will be homeless in the street. The family, from Colombia, has applied for political asylum.
The case of Olarizu homes
On these apartments that live in Olarizu they bring light and cut water since the summer. In fact, the City Hall of Vitoria-Gasteiz, through the municipal society Ensanche 21, acquired these apartments on the occasion of a new project that was intended to be carried out there, according to Berria. So far various generators, camping gases and street sources have been used in the area. Residents denounced in summer "racist attitudes" of neighbors, who because they are immigrants, "look bad" at neighbors.
