Five years and 6 months have passed since the liberation of Ca l’Espina, a building located at Carrer d’Asturias nº 12, in the heart of Gràcia, Barcelona. A gentrified neighborhood we no longer recognize, sold out to tourism and speculation, .
With great anger and sadness we have received the eviction date, October 2, 2025. The owner, Bojous, S.L., along with the Mossos d’Esquadra, will once again militarize the neighborhood to try to kick us out of our home.
Throughout these years, we have challenged the logic imposed by capital, establishing mutual aid as both an essential and everyday practice. It has been a space where we’ve grown both individually and collectively, where we’ve strengthened bonds that enable us to fight back and challenge the established order. It has been and still is the place where we continue to gather strength to resist the eviction.
Aware of the diversity of lived experiences, of diverse bodies and abilities, and with the aim of continuing to question and destroy systems of domination, we call for solidarity in all its forms.
Firm in our commitment to the anarchist struggle and knowing that actions have consequences, we understand that Ca l’Espina is much more than just a building, and that the collective extends far beyond those who live within its walls. They have chosen to come for us, and we will respond. We will not let this eviction go unpunished, and we will help grow our collective imagination through direct action.
We refuse to accept the loss of this neighborhood and, consequently, we refuse to leave our home.
Join us on Thursday, October 2nd at 7 AM at Carrer d’Astúries 12, Barcelona to resist the eviction with us.
We also call for a demonstration that same evening at 7:30 PM in Plaça de Lesseps in response to the eviction.
Squat, resist and direct action.
