They reject the new measure against the occupation in Vitoria-Gasteiz, in a concentration convened by young people and groups

Yesterday, members of various Gaztetxes concentrated on the Basque Government to call for "any criminalisation of occupation to be halted and for a vote to be taken against this particular measure against occupation".

More than half a hundred social agents, including several assemblies of youth centers, centers and spaces in the Basque Country, joined the mobilization. It is not the first time that it has opposed this reform of the law seeking to criminalise the occupation. The first appearance took place on 22 November, eight days after the presentation of the measure in Congress.
Yesterday, they pointed out two of the main consequences of the adoption of this new measure. At the same time, they have denounced that "the expropriated class will lose the opportunity to access organizational spaces or satisfy the right to housing".
Regarding the second conclusion, they pointed out that “the issue of occupation is one of the central themes of fascism”. In the concentration, they have denounced that fascism blames current instability for "the battered layer of the working class" and opens a "stigmatized figure of occupation".
