The protest for the right to decent housing, against speculation and tourism in Valencia gives rise to a camping trip in the center of the city. Dozens of people spent Saturday evening in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento in the Valencian capital as part of a spontaneous demonstration that followed the massive protest.
The demonstrators, many of whom come from the student movement and university camps for Palestine, are calling on the rest of the neighbors to unite and collaborate this Sunday. At noon, the Acampada València movement organized conferences and banner workshops and at 6 p.m., an open assembly to organize further demonstrations.
With the motto “if we don’t have a house, we will occupy the place”, the demonstrators of the first housing camp in Spain are demanding solutions to the housing problems: unbridled tourism, rising rent prices, real estate speculation and protection of the territory. . In a press release published by the Entre Barris platform, which brings together the entities of the Valencia district, the organizers ask for food, hygiene products and batteries for mobile phones in order to be able to continue camping and “give continuity to the request “. Saturday’s demonstration brought together nearly 50,000 people, according to the organization, in one of the largest marches in memory, with an echo of 15 million.
