look at the windows without light perpetually closed, find out who owns it, fix the door immediately and put a new lock, take three days to legally become an inhabitant, show ID to police climbing through the balcony with a rope, make the complicity of neighboring ... Are some tips to squat farms published in the journal Trends BCN Week, a newspaper aimed at urban public university and reports on the majority with trendy shops, columns, literary and art galleries ads which is distributed free in public places especially in the Eixample and Ciutat Vella.
Guidelines for squatting are not new on the internet, but now have switched from alternative sites to the free magazines offered in trendy bars and discos of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe most judicious and imaginative libraries hairdressers of Eixample as mentioned BCN Week. "The government of Barcelona has an interesting relationship with squatting, on the one hand is uncomfortable, but, on the other hand, there are government departments to treat it, where you go if you need information.
Although it appears complicated, even paradoxical, given that squatting is illegal, we believe, one of Barcelona's strengths is its willingness to confront the reality of complex social problems, "says Núria Ferrer, editor BCN Week. La Vanguardia said weeks ago how the crisis is changing the profile of the squatters.
Traditional-ideological and linked to the pursuit of social change-lose fizz. Now prioritize the families overwhelmed by the difficulties economic migrants with no resources and, in general, people who make few years would never have arisen usurp a floor after a kick to the door. "They grow conventional families entering empty flats for economic reasons," says Núria Ferrer. Squatting is ceasing to be an act of rebellion to become a wider phenomenon. "
But more difficult to find a guide to the desokupación. Your advice would be grateful for many citizens, if Francesc Bassols, who for more than a month is to leave the family that settled in the small house of his mother on the beach in Badalona. "In late November approached the house and found a marriage to a girl who claimed that he had rented ... It is a house where we go when the weather is nice. My mother, who is 80 years, is very concerned because the place brings back many memories of childhood. What is going very wrong. "
Individuals, ordinary people are suddenly usurped their properties, according to improvise the words of friends and lawyers." The first thing we did was to call Mossos and reporting, "says Bassols squatting a few yards from the house. We opted for a criminal because I was told by the calendar could be spent on lawyers and prosecutors about 2,000 euros. The trouble is that after we learn that the criminal can easily be extended to a couple of years if the judge does not believe that we are seeing is blatant. "
And everything suggests that the matter be delayed." The judge is not is watching the act. You must give credit to the squatters, who say they signed a contract that may arise. Also, I just tried calling and they said they have passed the case to prosecutors, which means more time. I went to talk to the judge and now have to talk to the prosecutor. I wanted to cut off supplies, but the companies told me that, having the certificate of occupancy expired, then maybe cost me a thousand euros retrieval. To me it I would have liked a guide. The squats should partner ".
