And they had almost no warm clothes. The other two families with minors slept in a crib. THE Mutual aid association report this situation.
“Pamplona City Hall declared during a press conference that places for homeless families were exhausted,” recall the members of this association. “What results unacceptable does he Government of Navarra don’t take responsibilitywhich must guarantee the accommodation and maintenance of people in situations of extreme necessity (and a fortiori if they are minors), according to the social services portfolio approved by the Government itself, without prejudice to the collaboration of the Town Hall with its own resources”, they comment with irritation.
