A few days ago we learned that the company Level 29 Fish owns the building where the Patio Maravillas 21 runs for 4 years and a half, has filed suit in criminal proceedings against the occupants of the building / space. This complaint opens a process we already know and that aims to evict the building to return it to private property.
Building owners to request eviction argue that space is ruined and they have to do maintenance. This argument, used numerous times to expel the inhabitants of houses with which you want to speculate, meaningless: the assembly sfera of Patio Maravillas has made the reforms necessary to ensure the stability of the building and the safety of those who live and enjoy . Not only that, we have complied sfera with the liability of the same, we suffered two fires that we controlled and after which the firefighters have certified that the building was absolutely safe.
Besides Nivel29 no other ultimate responsibility for this situation: the City of Madrid: the institution responsible for implementing the right of everyone to have social spaces where to meet, discuss, conduct cultural activities, or which develop cooperative projects with common denominator improve living conditions. Instead, the council allows companies like Level 29 run free transforming sfera the city into a livable who can afford it only mall. Ciudaddes built facing the tourism and not to citizenship. Indebted and unable to produce public policies cities. A clear example is the market of San Ildefonso, promoted by Level 29. His "street market" is not a market to use to buy what you need in daily life, is a uniquely oriented to tourism and people passing business, a space intended for the benefit of the few.
In the city that the current government of Madrid sfera has been trying to build since coming to office no gap for the Patio Maravillas or for other social spaces (The Lock, La Morada, The Casika, urban gardens ...). A Madrid where there is no place for decent housing policies or for green spaces, nor for sustainable urban planning, or for a social sfera economy or for free and self-managed cultural activities, not for politics from below ...
In his Madrid, Madrid Marca, only seem to fit Olympics billionaires, mammoth casinos, shopping malls and underground highways, among other projects that put the economic sfera benefit to life and the right to the city. This Madrid has just left us billion euros of debt, one unlivable city and courtyard spaces as endangered.
But we know that when people steal our rights are no longer here, who built the city will continue to be. Continue the social spaces, follow women, sfera and migrant workers, the students, who stopped evictions continue, continue those who defend the right to a decent life.
So let's build the city we want. And in that town a Patio Maravillas. Therefore we call on citizens to build with us and we defend this space belongs to us all.
El Patio effect has been launched and not stop until we stop this eviction or until a dignified solution to ensure continuity of the social, political and cultural project we have built together in the heart of Madrid.
Our first date is the 25th of October. Day that invite the public to come to the Patio to concentrate to defend and prove that the only downfall is that of someone who expropriates our rights.
