The day the electoral campaign begins, a white label of vox call ‘Desokupa’ the mess to request the eviction of a building in the bonanovto. A neighborhood in which there are usually no housing occupations but rather ideological ones, of the children of owners who rebel, like all good adolescents, against the way of life of their parents until they make it their own. And a neighborhood in which there are no protests against it either because it is already known that this is a boy’s thing. But campaign politics is not bitter about any candy. In the census sections neighboring the occupied property, the Ciutadans of Manuel Valls won the 2019 elections with more than 25% of the votes. The hubbub of these days is nothing more than the struggle for those votes that the successor of Valls in Ciutadans, Ana Grau, who was his co-religionist who is presenting for Valents, Eva Parera, and Vox who 4 years ago only scratched in that neighborhood 1.8% of the votes compared to 19 and 17 percent of Junts y Esquerra or almost 10% of Colau. Certain offices in Madrid should analyze data like this to understand what is happening in Barcelona and Catalonia.
Occupations are a poisoned business. He collauista frame it analyzes any episode as a vulture fund speculating on the price that tries to expel, with the help of the police and judicial cover, vulnerable families who cannot access housing. But after the lessons learned from the 2008 crisis, these cases are the least. People’s Frame as Desokupa it is that the authorities do nothing against some occupations that do not respond to any need but to the mere apology against private property. Class war versus culture war are currently the two sides of the same coin of populism. The truth is that there is a problem of access to housing that the occupations do not solve, that there are mafias that, protected by this nonsense, are dedicated to taking advantage of the occupations and that there are young people who make a way of life out of the counterculture. All worrying enough to know that a demonstration cannot be solved.
