Note: the eviction has been stopped for humanitarian reasons. The judge informed that "The right to life is more important than the right to property," but the case is still in the penal process as "a crime of usurpation." Although we can momentarily celebrate, we still have to pressure the Board of the Hospital Sant Pau Foundation to stop the penal complaint.
There is a demonstration this Saturday at 18:00 in the Plaza Llucmajor in defense of Can Madeu! Spread the Word!!
For those who don´t know, Can Masdeu is a squatted house in the hills above the neighborhood of Nou Barris, overlooking Barcelona. In addition to serving as a laboratory for rural-urban (rurban) projects, Can Masdeu has provided an important space for social movements in Barcelona and around Europe, and many of its residents have participated in broader social struggles, including the demonstration for a "New Culture of Water" against the Damming of the Ebre River, and the Campaign Against the Europe of Capital and the War. Many of those living in Can Masdeu have been active in the anti-capitalist globalization and other related movements.
