Madrid, Spain: Graffiti in Lavapiés in Solidarity with the Exarchia neighbourhood for the International Day of Action


Madrid,Graffiti in Lavapiés in Solidarity with the Exarchia neighbourhood for the International Day of Action

JUNE 25 – INTERNATIONAL DAY OF SUPPORT FOR THE EXARCHIA AREA

The only thing that can guarantee the public character of our neighbourhoods will always be the radical movement.

The city councils and the political elite in general are responsible as the cities are transformed into tourist centres, value for business. Public spaces are occupied by businesses and companies, who at the same time expel all those who choose not to or do not have the opportunity to consume. Against gentrification and touristification, state repression and the destruction of spaces of struggle. We resist in every neighbourhood by means of social self-organization, class solidarity, insurrection.

In the context of the international day of action in support of Exarchia, an intervention with graffiti was made in the neighbourhood of Lavapiés in Madrid, a working class neighbourhood with high immigration that has been confronted with gentrification and continued terrorization by the police.

From Lavapiés to Exarchia, cops out of our neighbourhoods!

NO to the subway in Exarchia square!

NO to the privatization of Strefi Hill!

Let the Polytechnic remain a space for meeting and struggle.

Rents down /No evictions!
