Police in the spanish capital have moved against El Patio Maravillas, a building which has been occupied by squatters since 2007, “Typically Spanish” reports:

A similar action last year failed because of public resistance. What accounts for the difference this year, I don’t know.
The squat apparently was a popular and busy cultural center, but people who lived nearby on Calle del Acuerdo in the university neighborhood called Malasa? routinely complained about noise.
Organizers of the squat have vowed on their website (in spanish) to continue their organizing activities:
