Police, a "racist" operation in San Sebastian, leads 29 people to identify

  • On Thursday from 8:00 to 12:20 hours a major police operation took place in a house occupied by the Donostian district of Martutene. The Spanish Police, the Ertzaintza and the Municipal Police have jointly carried out the operation, explaining that it is a “foreign office operation”. According to the data confirmed by the City Hall of San Sebastian, 56 people have been found inside the building and 29 have been transferred to “identify” the Spanish Police. A number of anti-racist activists who have come to help most residents confirm that they have received a prepared citation

According to the City Council, this operation has its origin in “the serious clashes between the people who live there in the last weeks in Martutene”. Apparently, this has led to “complaints, concerns and complaints among neighbors, so the police have decided to launch Thursday’s operation”, “to control the people in that building and “to clarify whether or not they have to do with these serious incidents”.

In full Ramada

Said [invented name] lives in the building and explains that at 8:00 in the morning the police have gone home without showing any orders. It has shown that they have broken several doors and pulled out all that was there. “The attitude has been very bad, they have forced us to sit down and if we talk to each other they started screaming.”

Said denounced that they are in the middle of the rampage and that this is why they have come, “because there is more people at home than normal.” He has spoken angry and hurtful saying that it is “enough”: “Many of us want to learn, we want to work and do not leave us alone. If someone has committed a crime, we cannot afford everyone.” “These are not worthy living conditions: we have no water, no electricity, no wifi, nothing,” he complains.

“Two knives”

Entrepreneurs have denounced that “the signing has been a massive operation, treating all those who live there as criminals.” They denounce that the police is a racist operation for putting everyone in the same bag.

Since the first hour they have been entrepreneurs and have explained that the treatment with the police has been “good” at all times. But not with those who live: “They have been treated like animals.” The Municipal Police has placed the neighbors of the house some bridal bordeaux that have been taken to the Spanish Police Station.

In exploring the house, after searching with a metal detector, they take two knives out of the house and teach them to entrepreneurs. “The Labans have shown us that they were dangerous. But they were a kitchen knife and a butter knife! Don’t realize that people live here!”
