From the Black Moon there are no young people in the Old Town of Pamplona. The Marqués de Rozalejo Palace was evicted twice by the Foral Police on 17 August and 8 April. Four of the tenants of Sakana are charged for the first eviction, and will be tried on Thursday morning at the Provincial Court of Navarra. One of them explains that the first eviction of gaztetxe “caught us inside, defending Marvels space.”

Along with the four Sakandarras, there are 22 others from Euskal Herria who will be tried on Thursday at the Palace of Justice. They are charged with a slight misdemeanor of usurpation. “The penalty would be a fine. There would be no jail." According to supporters of Marvels, the fines of the 82 charged in this case can amount to a total of EUR 109,160. “It is madness of Christ. It is a very high figure and to turn it around they are organizing days of solidarity in all the places of Euskal Herria”.

Events

Sakana's day of solidarity was celebrated on Saturday. The headquarters was the self-managed center Ziordiko Amarauna. In the morning there was a workshop against repression. After eating, they went to the town and there were games. They also painted a mural in favor of Marvels on the great wall of cement that is at the entrance of the village. The day was fired with the concerts.

This is not the only act that has been carried out in favour of Marvels. In Iturmendi the day before yesterday, coinciding with the reception of the month of May, a popular meal was organized. And following in Iturmendi, at the San Miguel festivities, the young people have come together to raise money to deal with the fines. But they also want to take the claim to the streets and today, at 19:00, they will make a demonstration in Altsasu, above all the judgments… Defend the Gaztetxes! Wonders for the people! with wheezing.

The conveners of the demonstration have explained to us that “gaztetxes are a very necessary project. Because it's a new way of looking at the world, of organizing. We have another way of understanding the world, outside the logic of this system: we organize, we do not charge when making the bar, we solve the problems by assemblies, we advance the initiatives by assemblies…” As they assure us, “it is not only the place, the space, but the power that is created in it. That’s why we defend gaztetxes.”

Three more

To denounce the eviction of Marvels a transfeminist cut was made, so the Moorish Law can be applied to the three neighbors in the area. “This can lead to heavy fines.” For this reason, they will carry out money collection actions “so that we can all pay all the fines. They called people to defend these kinds of spaces.”
