The occupation has lasted 17 years, surviving multiple eviction attempts due to strong local support.
Last year Barcelona City Council decided on frontal attack, enraged that there was growing autonomous community they didn’t control. Thousands stood in front of the riot police, who finally broke through and the demolition began.
84 people were arrested defending Can Vies, and dozens were injured by the police, luckily there were no deaths. These citizens should get rewards but the State wants revenge.
The Courts announced to the press, before the victims, the first 4 sentences. . The Solidarity Assembly of Can Vies (see here) reports:
Also sentenced to one year in prison was a photojournalist covering the demonstration for Can Vies at the time of the events was The woman, who contributes to EL PAÍS newspaper and La Directa as accredited with documents signed by the media. She said during the hearing that after an agent recriminated her for taking pictures of plainclothes policemen she was forcefully detained and suffered damage to her camera.”
”However, the judge believed the police version, according to which the girl threw a small stone at the policeman and caused injury to his forearm. She has been sentenced to a year in prison for the ‘attack on the authority’ and 30–day penalty fine for the alleged injury to the arm of the policeman….”

for the arrested DEFENDING ANARCHIST SOCIAL CENTER C.S.A. CAN VIES
NO TO THE EVICTION OF BANC OF GRÀCIA EXPROPIATED
NO TO THE EVICTION OF C.S.O. OCCUPIED SOCIAL CENTER INDUSTRY
The squatted social centers are free spaces where activities take place in the neighborhoods. Activities we propose another way of relating to people without that money is the only currency. Spaces in which activities are performed, knowledge, needs and capacities are shared, in addition to points where information is not funded either by banks, governments or corporations.
For this reason and because they question the right of private property to prevail over the right to housing and social justice,they are evicted by that governments led by the boards of multinational corporations and financial institutions. …..
…The Expropiated bank in Gracia has an order of imminent eviction. That space now has a clear social function for people with less resources of the neighborhood and is not controlled by any political or financial power. And that for governments is a problem, because they have no complete control of the people.
Another expropriated bank , is the CSO Industry, its another space that provides social work in the neighborhood and also escapes the economic logic and government control. And it also has threat of imminent eviction.
When evictions occur social centers, neighborhoods lose spaces for free expression. Lose a space of autonomy, ability to talk about their problems and seek resources and solutions to issues that affect them. When a squatted social center is evicted, neighborhoods lose, above all, freedom is a walled-up building or an empty plot.
LETS NOT LET THAT HAPPEN. Let not those who fight for these spaces be prosecuted, detained and convicted as after the failed eviction of CSA Can Vies, in the district of Sants.
Solidarity is the color of all hearts.
ViVa Can Vies , CSOA Industry, Banc de Gràcia Expropiat
| Este pasado Viernes 23 de Enero, una veintena de personas se concentraron en el cruce de la Avenida Gaudí con la calle Industria de Barcelona, para mostrar su solidaridad con las personas encausadas en la manifestación contra el derribo de Can Vies, y para mostrar su solidaridad contra las amenazas por los desalojo del Banco Expropiado en el barrio de Gràcia y del Centro Social Okupado y Autogestionado La Industria. | |

ABSOLUCIÓN DETENIDAS C.S.A. CAN VIES
NO AL DESALOJO DEL BANC EXPROPIAT DE GRÀCIA
NO AL DESALOJO DEL C.S.O. LA INDUSTRIA
Los centros sociales okupados, son espacios liberados donde se realizan actividades en los barrios. Actividades que nos proponen otra manera de relacionarnos entre las personas, sin que el dinero sea la única moneda de cambio. Espacios en los que se realizan actividades, se comparten conocimientos, necesidades y capacidades, además de ser puntos en los que la información no está financiada ni por bancos, gobiernos o multinacionales.
Por eso, y porque cuestionan que el derecho de la propiedad privada deba prevalecer sobre el derecho a la vivienda y sobre la justicia social, es que los gobiernos dirigidos por los consejos de dirección de multinacionales y entidades financieras, los desalojan. Y más en estos tiempos, en los que en dichos centros se abren espacios de intercambio o tiendas gratis para todas aquellas personas que necesitan algo que ya no pueden comprar, porque ni tienen ese supuesto derecho al trabajo, ni tampoco dinero, pues las ayudas de la comunidad europea y el dinero público de los gobiernos han ido a parar a las arcas de los que más tienen: los bancos.
VIDEO DE LA MANI DEL PRIMER DIA
El Banc Expropiat de Grácia tiene una orden de desalojo inminente. Ese espacio que ahora tiene una clara función social para las personas con menos recursos del barrio, no está controlado por ningún poder político o financiero. Y eso para los gobiernos es un problema, pues no tienen el completo control de las personas.
Otro banco expropiado, es el CSO La Industria, es otro espacio que realiza su labor social en el barrio y que también escapa a la lógica económica y del control del gobierno. Y por ello también tiene amenaza de desalojo inminente.
Cuando se producen desalojos de centros sociales, los barrios pierden espacios de libre expresión. Pierden un espacio de autonomía, capacidad para hablar sobre sus problemas y buscar recursos y soluciones a las cuestiones que les afectan. Cuando un centro social okupado es desalojado, los barrios pierden, sobre todo, libertad y queda un edificio tapiado o un solar.
NO PERMITAMOS QUE ESO SUCEDA. No permitamos que las personas que luchan por esos espacios sean encausadas, como las detenidas por el desalojo del CSA Can Vies, en el barrio de Sants.
Absolución para las personas detenidas por luchar por el CSA Can Vies.
Detengamos el desalojo del Banc Expropiat de Gràcia
Detengamos el desalojo del CSO La Industria
