The Stop Evictions platform in Gipuzkoa has announced that the Basque Government wants to evict six vulnerable families in Gipuzkoa
- The Stop Evictions platform of Gipuzkoa has denounced that six families from Hernani and Intxaurrondo have run out of their inadmissible contracts for five years and want to dismiss them without offering alternatives to the current economic model. In the case of Etxebide or Bizigune, the intention is to continue in the current accommodation until the social rental option can be offered.
The Stop Evictions platform in Gipuzkoa called a repulse on Friday at 11:00 a.m. before the Basque Government delegation in Donostia-San Sebastián. Through this mobilization, they wish to denounce the fact that the Basque Government is about to evict six families from the housing units of Hernani and the Donostia district of Intxaurrondo. The platform seeks to prevent this from happening through the citizen’s response.
The platform has explained that these six families at risk of eviction are in a situation of vulnerability in the Basque Country, as confirmed by the Vulnerability Reports prepared by the Social Services. They had unextendable hire contracts for five years and, once exhausted, they have received a letter to have their house keys returned to them. The keys must be returned between November and January, and if not, they are informed that they will initiate the necessary procedures for eviction of the apartment and the payment of damages compensation”, contemplating the judicial route as an option.
The Stop Evictions platform has reported that, as it is a low-income society, none of these six families has the capacity to pay a rent in Gipuzkoa. Recalling that the average rental price is EUR 1,138 according to the 2nd quarter 2021 Property Offer Survey published by the Basque Government. Those affected have claimed the subjective right to housing, but have received a negative response, claiming that they exceed the stipulated gross annual income.
In this regard, they have reported that families will register a letter in which they will inform the Basque Government that they do not intend to return the keys and that they will continue to live in households without accepting any penalty until they are offered a social rental through Etxebide or Bizigune as an alternative.

The housing problem is a structural problem that comes from far away. What should be a human right is nothing more than a subjective right. I say that it is a fraud because, although all the institutions and all the political parties say nice words, they do not grasp the... [+]
