Demonstration against the eviction of the occupy house "the ungovernable in Madrid, Spain". Two and a half years, since May 2017, it has been the duration of a social center that the Municipal Police with the help of the Security Support Units (UAS) and Central North and Central South District Units as well as another as Salamanca or Chamberí have evicted at around 3.20 in the morning. Moment when the building was empty, although there had been activities in previous hours.
After the authorization of the Administrative Contentious Court number 16 of Madrid, dated October 7, and the subsequent action, the Works and Equipment Area has taken control of the building "to strengthen the exterior carpentry that guarantees its integrity" . "The building is in a very unfortunate condition of lack of cleanliness and we are now assessing exactly the situation of everything," said the delegate of Security and Emergencies, Immaculate Sanz.

With this eviction, the City Council of the capital, with Martínez-Almeida in front, meets one of the mantras he has repeated most during the election campaign and in recent months: to be adamant against squatting. "We said that there would be zero tolerance with the squatting in Madrid, and even more with that group that had been mastering the illegal squatting of a building that belongs to all of Madrid for two years," said the mayor, who has stressed that his government knows how to pass "from words to deeds."

After the execution took place, Almeida congratulated the Security forces for their "impeccable performance" and affirmed that "anyone who intends to live for free at the expense of Madrid, who knows that sooner or later he will be taken out and that building will return to the Madrid. "

The vice mayor, Begoña Villacís, accused the former municipal corporation of Manuela Carmena of "collusion with the squatting" and has placed as proof that "many councilors of Manuela Carmena made speeches within that building that we have found in a sad situation ". "Madrid is not going to be a city for squatters," said the leader of Citizens in Madrid.

For its part, the collective of the Ungovernable said this morning: "They can not evict us, because we are everywhere and ungovernable Madrid is indestructible." "We have demonstrated once again the power of social centers, the legitimacy of taking the spaces that speculation and corruption empty, while enriching the ones that make our lives more expensive," they have argued.

From the group they also point out that "when the reasons are over, there is only strength left" and that they have requested "dialogue for active and passive".
