The headquarters of Cáritas, ACCEM, Burgos Acoge and Atalaya Intercultural – the NGOs that work for the integration of immigrants – in Burgos were vandalized with swastikas, neo-Nazi crosses and messages such as “Spaniards first”, “Puto moro” or “More Valencia and less Nigeria.”
The Local Police received a call this morning and went to the headquarters to observe the graffiti. As confirmed by this organization, they are searching the area for cameras that will identify those responsible and they will contact a cleaning company to “immediately” erase the graffiti.
From Caritas, consulted by this newspaper, they assure that they have not yet reported the graffiti to the local police, although they intend to do so. They are currently evaluating “the measures to be taken”, which will be communicated in due course.
The four NGOs found themselves at the center of the political debate after Vox and PP negotiated the withdrawal of subsidies intended for these NGOs which help with the integration of immigrants – with the exception of Cáritas, which refused to accept them if they had to be exclusive – which ultimately led to the PP withdrawing from the 2025 budgets after a massive demonstration last week.
This Tuesday, Vox voted against the Burgos City Council budget at the Finance Commission after the PP returned the aid to NGOs. The opinion issued by the Commission is negative and the final vote on the budget project – which will include the positions of ACCEM, Burgos Acoge and Atalaya Intercultural – will take place this Friday during the municipal plenary session.
The configuration of the current government team, PP and Vox, remains unresolved pending Friday’s plenary session, as well as a possible question of confidence that the mayor of Burgos, Cristina Ayala, should raise if her accounts are unsuccessful. not. this week.
