Gernika youth center eviction dispute

Overview

In Gernika, youth protesters organized a sit-in at the City Council to oppose the planned eviction of the Gaztetxe de Gernika youth center. Protesters, mobilized by Egurre Gazte Asamblada, sought to prevent renovation works intended to repurpose the building into a library, arguing that the move lacks community consensus. The mobilization successfully delayed scheduled construction work and led to meetings between youth representatives and local officials.

As the dispute continued, the Egurre Gazte Asanbleda declared they would defend the center until a guaranteed alternative location is provided. While Mayor Jose Mari Gorroño stated the building must be vacated within the month, the youth group has rejected previous relocation suggestions, such as the Astra cultural center. They expressed a willingness to move only if the municipality secures a site, such as a space in Bekoibarra, to ensure the continuity of their activities.
