Housing rights protests in Spain

Overview

Housing rights activists across Spain have employed various tactics to protest issues regarding affordable housing access. In Arrecife, Lanzarote, the Assembly for the Right to Housing ended a seven-day occupation of José Ramírez Cerdá Park after receiving warnings from the City Council regarding potential sanctions for camping in a Site of Cultural Interest. The group described the removal as “strategic” and announced plans to continue mobilization through weekly assemblies and support for a general housing strike on November 11.

In other regions, activists are utilizing different approaches. In Vigo, a protest camp established in the Alameda has implemented a manual of good practices to regulate coexistence, including rules on noise and cleanliness, as well as support points for health and LGTB+ issues. Meanwhile, in Oviedo, protesters at the La Escandalera plaza camp have begun dismantling their tents, stating they have achieved many of their objectives. This group also intends to focus on the upcoming November 11 general strike.
