The Ministry of the Interior, headed by
Fernando Grande-Marlaska,
will definitively close on March 1
the
houses located next to the Nanclares prison,
which are used by a hundred prison officials to this day.
The decision has been communicated to the workers by the prison director
Benito Aguirre
through an email and, according to union sources, breaches the
commitment made by Penitentiary Institutions
to keep these facilities open while
the effects of the pandemic and the declaration continued. of the Alarm State
.
Prison officials will have to
collect their belongings and search for new homes in just 15 days
despite the difficulties involved in moving in the midst of a pandemic and after two months enduring subhuman conditions in official homes for which until last December they
paid a fee. that were deducted from their payroll
.
According to Penitentiary Institutions, there are
35 workers with the recognized right to use these houses
located in the closed perimeter of the old Nanclares prison, today an abandoned building in which serious accidents have occurred such as the electrocution of an alleged thief in the past February 2 when manipulating a transformer.
In addition to these 35 holders,
another sixty approximately use these facilities
that constituted the only space for officials to have their
personal and family security
guaranteed
against ETA terrorism
.
The order communicated from the direction of Zaballa to practically the entire prison staff - the penitentiary facility opened in 2011 that is preparing to receive
ETA prisoners
transferred by Grande-Marlaska - warns that the access fence to the houses will be closed permanently next March 1.
The decision is also linked to the
publication of the transfers
of officials in a call that should have been resolved last spring but is delayed until February 18.
"The publication in the BOE of the aforementioned transfer contest is scheduled for 02/18/21. As of that date, the transitional period for the execution of the order to close the pavilions of the old penitentiary center of Nanclares de la Oca, "says the statement that
expels the officials from these homes and leaves them on the street
.
Officials will have to wait until the 18th to find out if their transfer has been authorized and, if they cannot, find a residence in Álava in just 10 days.
Union sources have confessed the "moral setback" implied by the decision of Penitentiary Institutions after EL MUNDO published on February 7 that these officials remained in official homes
since December 15 without water or heating
with extreme temperatures and risk of disease.
From that date, Penitentiary Institutions
gave silence in response
without responding to union requests to fix the
damaged boiler
, in the last and final attempt to force the workers to leave these homes.
After the publication of the information on the inhumane living conditions of these officials and the dangerous state of the old prison, the Zaballa management recovered the security cameras for access to the facility, reactivated the automatic access fence and contacted the Ertzaintza to reinforce perimeter security.
On February 2,
a 37-year-old man was seriously injured when he was electrocuted
while handling a transformer located next to a sentry box.
