The painful impact that the coronavirus pandemic has had in Vallecas since last March has led its people to demand improvements in the health, labor, education and transport systems, but the response has been the disdain of the institutions, when not directly repression by the police forces. That was the case on September 24, when in the vicinity of the Assembly of the Community of Madrid, the police charged with batons and shotguns against the population that participated in a rally to demand decent public services, with special attention to health due to the serious consequences of the epidemic. Several people were arrested when they peacefully exercised their right to protest, just for raising their voices and their bare hands "Here are the Antifascists, Less Police and more Sanitarians!", And it has also been verified that there were several people injured due to the savage performance of the riot police. Therefore, the residents of Vallekas have taken to the streets to demand these demands in unison: Whoever governs, Vallekas defends himself. Repeal of Law 15/97, and reversion of everything privatized to public services. No to repression in the working-class neighborhoods, less police and more health care.
