The funeral for the local neighbour took place this Tuesday afternoon after the discovery of the remains of Sololuze among the rubble of the landfill.
Joaquín Beltrán, the other worker who disappeared after the collapse of the rubble accumulated in Zaldibar, remains buried in the same industrial waste dump and has been searched by the emergency teams since February. Beltran's relatives have also attended Sololuze's funeral, in which many relatives have participated.
The citizens' platform Zaldibar Argitu continues to organise regular mobilisations to locate the two workers and cleanse the responsibilities of this accident that has shocked public opinion.
