Without extension for Alam’s eviction in Tetuán or mercy so that their three children end the course in their school

Every day, at all hours, terrible things happen around us, but it is easy to pass by, like a donkey with leaders gripped by the feverish inertia of the city. It is what seemed to happen to those who tried to cross Bravo Murillo among the dozens of people who concentrated this morning at the height of the number 203, next to the exit of the narrow subway, and even the hieratic wall of municipal police that contained them. “You can’t pass here, turn around,” the police said again and again.

Other people, on the other hand, asked and joined the group, which had been summoned at eight in the morning by the Tetuan Housing Organization – one of the assemblies for the right to housing of the district – to try to stop the eviction of the eviction of Alam and his family with three young children. They rented to a company that hid them that the floor was in the process of mortgage execution. The Sareb (known as Bad Bank) It was the performer and a particular resident in Switzerland, who did not want to know anything that the family continued to live in its new acquisition as a tenant.

In the first hour a dozen boys and girls from the Jaime Vera school had come to the eviction to support the family of their classmates, after the AFA (Family Association) of the center spread it. The little ones, who carried home posters against eviction, received a great applause when they paraded class shortly before nine in the morning. It was early when there were more people in the call (more than a hundred), although there were many tens that remained supporting the family until almost eleven in the morning.

It was known that eviction would be complicated to stop despite being a first attempt, because property had requested the judge for police intervention units. The omen were confirmed when the police cordoned off at dawn one hundred meters from the street of Bravo Murillo, cut one of the subway outputs and even a section of one of the artery lanes.


The arrival of the Judicial Commission was expected around ten in the morning and on that time the different people involved in eviction were entering the portal: the social samur, social services people, property representatives and the judicial commission, that made it clear from the first moment that I had no intention of agreeing absolutely nothing.

In this way, the representatives of the Tetuán Housing Organization designated to negotiate, as usual in this type of calls, were on the other side of the police cordon without even being offered the opportunity to dialogue.


Above Alam news, accompanied by a pair of anti -skucios activists. The intention, as explained by the interlocutors of the Tetuán Housing Organization, was to try to get an extension so that the three children of the family could finish the school year at the nearby Jaime Vera school.

An endowment of riot police of the Municipal Police climbed to the landing and entered the house by throwing the door down, although it had been slightly underpinned inside. Alam, who has a recognized 40% disability and suffers from the heart, then suffered a fainting, so it had to go to an ambulance, although he could go out on his foot for a while later.


Alam’s family has been offered a shelter for a few days, but its members have rejected it to not have to separate (he would have to go with his son on the one hand and his wife with both girls for another). At the moment, they will pay a hostel waiting to find another home away from the neighborhood in which they have built their lives during the last decade. To the routine made up of constant visits to municipal offices and social services, the last weeks had been added trips outside Madrid in search of a house approachable for its economy.

“It is not even the sun to get to us,” said one of the people gathered looking at the sunny areas in the direction of Plaza de Castilla. This morning the minimums in Madrid were from a grade below zero and the cold pumped in the bodies as the minutes passed. With the eviction executed and the banner that hung from the balconies claiming “Alam stays” withdrawn by the police, someone from the Tetuán housing organization asked for four volunteers to lower furniture to the street. Nothing could be done this time and the city continues, with a firm step, without looking back.
