Overview
- Ertzaintza officers moved in on Friday to clear access for a judicial delegation at an Avenida de los Huetos home, and confrontations with hundreds of protesters followed.
- The eviction targets El Moukhtar, his wife and their six children, who have lived at the address since 2018 and face losing their home if the operation proceeds.
- A campsite and mass concentration organized by the Sindicato Socialista de Vivienda aimed to block the eviction, and several tents set up the previous night were removed during police actions.
- The union reported at least two people detained and said some demonstrators were injured, while pupils from nearby schools joined the morning protests in solidarity.
- Union leaders blame the PSOE/PNV municipal government for offering no public rehousing option and warn the case could intensify debate over who must provide emergency housing in Vitoria-Gasteiz.
