The members of the platform have determined that the Municipal Guard of Leioa last year denounced six people for the placement of information posters for the calls for mobilizations to paralyze the works that would suppress an exit from the Advance and their public address. "They only intended to inform the neighbors of the works of the Advanced that aimed to close the exit to our neighborhoods," explained the members of the group on social networks. The portal Leihoa.info reports that the sanctions imposed can reach EUR 3,000.
In addition, they point out that one of the six defendants has been prosecuted in three cases, in two cases in each case, and in three cases in penalties. The pensioners submitted allegations to the complaints, as, among other arguments, they argued that the resolutions did not present a significant lack of motivation, the factual classification was highly arbitrary and the right to the presumption of innocence.
However, the Portal explains that the government team did not comply with the allegations filed and confirmed the sanctions imposed, so the defendants decided to go to court and tomorrow will be the trial.
In addition, the Connected Neighborhoods platform recalled that last March 6, the agents identified two women from the Leioa Feminist Network who were putting up posters to call the mobilizations on March 8, even more "identified a woman for bringing the posters under her arm", they recalled. On the contrary, the digital portal reports that two members of the Feminist Network were denounced for placing a single poster on Udondo Boulevard.
The City Council proposes a fine of EUR 201 for each of the defendants, in addition, the Director of Security Coordination of the Basque Government proposes to impose a fine of EUR 602 in application of the Law of Protection of Citizen Security, known as Law Mordaza, "for refusing to identify yourself at the request of the agents of the Authority".
The Connected Neighborhoods platform has rejected these actions and manifested in social networks the following: "Our Agents cannot accept these subjective and random situations that have been the subject of persecution or authorization depending on the profile they face." They also stress that they will not delay and that they will defend themselves against "these injustices", and that they also show solidarity with the members of the Feminist and Fire Movement.
On Friday, 10 June, at 20:00 on Boulevard de Leioa, there will be a concentration of solidarity with the denounced and denouncing the attitude of the City Hall, convened by the Feminist Network of Leioa, the Young Feminist Group of Leioa Sutea, the Pensioners of Leioa and the platform for the soterramiento of the Advanced.
