The reoccupation that has lasted one night

  • Thousands of people demonstrated on Saturday in Pamplona/Iruña against the eviction of the gaztetxe Marvels of the Navarra capital. On eight o'clock in the afternoon they managed to enter for the third time, but in the early hours of Sunday the officers of the Foral Police appeared and closed the doors. The young people have accused the Government of Navarra of overcoming "all the red lines" in the drafting of the convention. The mayor of the city, Joseba Asiron, will meet next Monday with the neighbors.

“We’ve got into a loop that doesn’t benefit anyone,” said the mayor of Pamplona, Joseba Asiron (EH Bildu), in statements made on Sunday. The Rozalejo Palace, where the Gaztetxe is located, said that it does not meet the security conditions and that there are possible short-term solutions. The Consistorio has offered the young people the Oscus building, located in the old town, but Asiron said that "this is not the only solution". From Monday he announced that he will meet with gaztetxe’s neighbors, guests, merchants or the entire neighborhood.

Asiron said he was "concerned" about the events that have taken place in the last two weeks, when the gaztetxe was evicted on 8 January. Since then, young people have made numerous demonstrations in favour of gaztetxe: Hunting, biking, road cuts and hanging from the bridge, among others. The Foral Police and the National Police have been involved for several days in riots for several days. The demonstration on Saturday has been the most multitudinous event to date.

At 17:00 in the afternoon, the first protesters arrived at the Plaza of the City Hall of Pamplona/Iruña. By then the atmosphere had already warmed up, since at the entrance to Pamplona the National Police had put in control. Among other things, they stopped the buses from Bilbao and San Sebastian: they identified them and took a photo to one to have the “current image” of each one of them.

 

Thousands of people by gaztetxes

The demonstration was carried out with demands from the occupation, especially in view of the delegation which the Spanish Government has in Navarre. With the help of music, the atmosphere wasn't that hard. The event at the end of the demonstration took place in San Francisco Square, where the members of the Gaztetxe Marvels expressed their thanks anyway. They sang the song in favor of the gaztetxe with the help of the guitar, and then the members of the gaztetxe of the old part of Donostia, Kijera, who is in danger of dislodging, and the gaztetxe of Errotxapea took the floor. They transferred their support to Marvels and expressed their gratitude to all those fighting for self-managed spaces and asked them to continue doing so. At the end of the act, the entry of some young people to Gaztetxe Marvels was reported.

The door opened with Rotaflex

The Plaza de la Navarrería overflowed. “Without young people, there is no peace. A banner with the motto “Wonders for the people” hung from the balcony of the gaztetxe to the interior and with the rotaflex began to pull the veneer door. Put on loudspeakers songs with proclamations of occupation, the party broke out. Gaztetxe was reoccupied before 20:30 pm, according to the same sources.

 

The Gaztetxe upstairs

As reported by the Foral Police through social networks, the gaztetxe turned "upside down". “In order for reoccupation not to be possible, we have had tremendous damage,” said the members of Gaztetxe Marvels.

 

At 8 a.m. on the street

There was no trace of the policy when they entered on Saturday in the gaztetxe of the Vizcaine town of Nabarreria. However, around 7 a.m. on Sunday, the Foral Police entered the gaztetxe. There was no one inside and the Navarrería was closed. A young man was arrested in the course of the incidents.

“You have exceeded all the red lines,” they addressed the Government of Navarra at a hearing held on Sunday at noon: “You will have us in front, and don’t hesitate, this neighborhood will get gaztetxe as soon as possible.”
