The building is located in the Old Quarter (Alde Zarra) of Bilbao, Basque Country.
In their communication, the squatters denounced the city model, oriented to tourism and big companies, what pushes most people to precariousness (temporary jobs, no collective agreements, low salaries) and the near-impossibility to have a decent home (or a living in general).
They denounce the speculators and the corrupt politicians, who push the people to joblessness, homelessness and even lack of a decent education.
We are tired of getting just the crumbs, they say. And, after recalling the long European squatter tradition, they declare:
We cannot waste any more time, we have to take the future in our hands. We have occupied this building with a clear intention: to create a space for all the people and with open doors to learn how to take the reins of our own lives.
