A building squatted in Iruña

According to ateak ireki, a group of young squatted on Saturday an abandoned building in the center of Iruña (Nafarroa south basque country). After a demonstration against cuts and in support of a new social model, the group entered in it and placed banners. 

Soon, spanish police and local police appeared but they did not entered in it. On Sunday, there was an assembly to discuss about the project. On night, the building was evicted without any arrest.

In the past, different buildings of Iruña were squatted. The repression led by UPN (unionist right-wing party in Nafarroa) was brutal. Spanish police, local police and foral police (regional police of Nafarroa) use violence against the movement (where there were different militants of Abertzale left, anarchists, ecologist etc.). Hundreds of people were arrested and some of them imprisoned. Besides, dozens of people were also injured by police and the squatted buildings were demolished.
