The new building squatted by the La Ingobernable collective in Madrid will not be evicted imminently by the National Police and the future eviction will depend on a court order, once the owners of the property denounce the usurpation, police sources have reported. Yesterday, the group feared some kind of police action after the cordon they carried out on Cruz Street. According to the same sources, they did it for security reasons and to prevent these people from squatting the entire building. Finally, the agents lifted the control, opened the street to pedestrian traffic and left. The new squatted premises is located at number 3 Calle de la Cruz, in Madrid, in the old Hotel Cantábrico, where the new 'tenants' have reported on social media that they will create an 'Office of Social Rights' (ODS) that It will be organized through seven lines of action in defense of the right to food, the right to protest, basic income, community health, transfeminism and against job insecurity. 'La Ingobernable' has based the opening of a Social Rights Office on the idea that in the capital neighborhood spaces "are under systematic persecution by the City Council" which "does not care" about the legal or illegal situation of the group because " what it does not support "is to make a" own "policy. "As we have always done the social centers, the recovered building is another symbol of the real estate speculation that devastates the center of our city, it had been empty and abandoned for five years," they have highlighted, and have invited citizens to come to " visit "the space they are" arranging to be friendly and safe. Finally, they have asked for "all the support that is possible" both in person and online, especially during the first days of the creation of the Office, and have stressed that they want to do "grassroots politics." "All we have is because others fought, we have no choice but to organize ourselves more and better," they concluded.
