In October 2012 a giant unused factory building in Sestao (13 km from Bilbao Centre) was squatted.
This squat is seen as the follow up for the in 21-09-2011 evicted Kukutza.
At the same time the aftermath of the Kukutza eviction continues.
The new squat is called “Txirbilenea” and is located in Sestao 13 kilometres outside of Bilbao.

Bilbao: Flo and Rafi released from pretrial detention
As of today, Friday September 30th , our friends and comrades Flo & Rafi have been released on bail from their Basque pretrial detention . After versatile international protest and solidarity actions against their arrest -based on flimsy grounds- the Basque justice department decided to release both on bail for 1000 Euro per person. We are happy for our friends and comrades, but it’s clear that this is not the end of the repression related to the eviction of Kukutza III . Neither the accusations against Flo & Rafi, nor the accusations against all the other comrades, who were struggling for Kukutza III, have been dropped. Here as well as there, continuing threats , investigations and probably even prosecutions are to be expected. More info soon.

Bilbao: Solidarity with arrested people from the Kukutza eviction (21-09-2011)
The popular social centre Kukutza-III in Bilbao was evicted the 21st of September 2011. Anti-terror troops from the police used armored vehicles and rubber bullets to evict and destroy the huge Kukutza building which had been squatted for more than 13 years. About 20 people were arrested, and various people were wounded. Right now there’s still two people (Flo & Rafi from Germany) arrested.
