Bilbao: eviction of the gaztetxe Etxarri II in Errekalde

Night of police charges in Bilbao. Five people were arrested when they tried to prevent the eviction of Etxarri II gaztetxe, which took place today (April 4) at 11am. At 19h a demonstration is called from the Amezola park.

After more than a decade of activity and five years of resistance, the Ertzaintza (autonomous police force for the Basque Country) has proceeded to the eviction of the Etxarri II gaztetxe, located in the Bilbao neighborhood of Errekalde. They did so after the massive demonstration, supported by numerous groups from the metropolitan area of Bilbao, which on March 28 went through the streets of the neighborhood demanding the end of the eviction process that would activate an urban development operation -in which Amenabar, one of the construction companies that has worked most closely with the Basque Government, participates- that will replace the industrial buildings where the gaztetxe is located with luxury housing.

Santurtzi: Demonstration, create, support and defend squatting

With this short text, we would like to invite you to the demonstration that will take place on November 28th at 12:30 from the Kultur Etxea de Mamariga in Santurtzi.

Because of the media campaign against squatting that is being carried out from the disinformation media, the anti-occupation neighborhood mobilizations with racist and classist tendencies that force evictions and the the aggressive actions that threaten us and come from the city council. From Mamarigako Kultur Etxea, Mamarigako Gaztetxea, La Kelo Gaztexea and people in solidarity; we have seen that it is essential to organize ourselves to give a forceful response to this situation that affects all the squatting movement.

We want to open this initiative that arises from the squatted spaces of Santurtzi to the rest of the collectives and networks. We would like to make you participate by proposing to use this call to make visible in your environment the different local problems and that November 28 under the flag of the squatting be a meeting point to claim our struggle and the defense of our spaces.
