Social center Casablanca in Madrid is reoccupied but evicted again, 70 people identified

Dozens of people demonstrated this afternoon in the centre of Madrid in a protest that ended up with people reoccupying and recovering the building from which the squatted and self-managed social center CSOA Casablanca had been evicted a few weeks ago. The demonstration had been called by the assemblies of Bibliosol and Archivo Físico 15M, which had a great amount of files inside the CSOA Casablanca, in order to claim the importantance of popular culture and social movements. The new project had been formed under the name of CSO Magerit.

At around 23:30pm, dozens of police vans arrived in front of the building and dispersed the people who were gathering in front of the building. Cops broke into the building (picture) and identified the 70 people who were inside at the moment. Two people were arrested by cops, according to Diagonal. There is a call for gathering against the eviction on sunday at 1:00pm at Lavapiés  Tirso de Molina square.

Demonstration in L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona): We’re taking back our dignity

We are fed up, fed up of the failure and the alienation of your education system, of dying in hospital queues, of banks always winning, of becoming homeless, of estate agents and city councils taking control of our neighbourhoods, of the torture happening inside your jails, of your state terrorism, of the deportation of our neighbours just for being from outside and poor, of living in order to work and working in order to live, of your mercenaries in uniform, of the acceptation of self-declared fascists inside your democratic system, proving all this is all a covered dictatorship.

That’s why we are TAKING BACK our hospitals and schools, our spaces, our houses, the solidarity, mutual aid, cooperativism, direct action, oru streets.

Let’s take back freedom, let’s take back the dignity

Rage assembly of L’H.

CSOA Casablanca quat in Madrid is evicted

Below is a brief statement from the assembly of the Casablanca squat in Madrid, which has been evicted in the early hours of today 19th of September. One person was arrested during the eviction, after 100 comrades had started gathering outside the building once the news of the eviction came out. This operation comes just a few days before the action planned around the Spanish parliament next week, and is suspected to be part of the ongoing repressive operations related to that upcoming demonstration. La Rimaia free university in Barcelona was also evicted back in May just one week before the May 12 demonstrations.

The assembly of the CSOA Casablanca, due to the eviction with no prior warning, in the morning of today 19th of September, announces:

-Its intention of going on with the social project that is carried out by the CSOA in the Lavapiés neighbourhood.

-A gathering against the eviction and in support of the project in the Lavapiés square this afternoon at 20:00h, where a statement by the assembly will be read.

Barrilonia squat in Barcelona is evicted

At 7am this morning, units of riot cops carried out the eviction of the CSO Barrilonia at Rambla del Raval in Barcelona. The town hall has alleged “building deficiences” in order to evict the squat, as the legal process had not reached the trial stage yet. No warning had been made in advance. A demonstration has been called for this afternoon at 7pm at Rambla del Raval.
