Spain: Cops raid and evict Lioness social centre

via Freedom News UK

In a demonstration of repressive policing, Seville cops attacked and destroyed the squatted space on the day it opened for community use – having spent six months largely ignoring it while it was cleared and made useable. The politically-charged eviction at a former concert hall targeted a site that was about to provide a community hub for challenging rampant gentrification in the city. In a statement the Lioness collective described the scene:

"La Malatesta" Project Closes

from Anarquía, English translation by Anarchist News

The bookstore closes

We've resisted during 16 years, but the moment has come where we can't keep accumulating losses and we're forced to close, with all that implies, mainly to our dreams, principles and efforts, but also to all of you, the people who came to see us and to furnish us with anarchist material, with whom we've created a great bond.

End of the Bankia affair

Write an anarchist prisoner today!

via attaque Translated by Act for freedom now!

October 29, 2018, we, two anarchists comrades from Madrid, were arrested, accused of the incendiary sabotage of a Bankia ATM, which had taken place on April 13 of the same year. The action was in solidarity with Lisa, who had been sentenced to 7 years for a bank robbery in Aachen (Germany) – at present she is on parole.
There was an agreement between the parties: 1 year suspended prison sentence for each comrade and 7000 euros civil liability, paid before the trial.

An incendiary device against a car of a private security company

via attaque Translated by Act for freedom now!

In the second week of March, we placed an incendiary device in a car of a private security company, in the district of Sants/Montjuic.
On the car the sentence “technology exists, security first” was written.

We send this gesture of solidarity to those repressed and imprisoned in the 27F* case and to all those who struggle inside and outside the walls.

For anarchy.

The Fundación Anselmo Lorenzo [1] (FAL) is one of the largest archives on the history of the anarchist and labour movements in Spain and worldwide. Part of the historic union CNT (Confederacion Nacional del Trabajo), our holdings span from the beginning of the workers’ associative endeavours in the nineteenth century, all the way up to the present era, including the momentous events during the Spanish Civil War and the Spanish Revolution of 1936-1939.

Gabriel Pombo Da Silva Update

Write an anarchist prisoner today!

via Anarquía, English translation via Dark Nights

Full original title: Spain: Legal developments since last public statement on Gabriel Pomba Da Silva (April 2021)

With this communiqué we want to inform about the current legal situation that continues to prevent the release of our anarchist comrade, despite the fact that 2 years have passed since his arrest (we remember illegal). It is evident the will of the executioners in robes to continue kidnapping Gabriel. With any means that their (almost) unlimited powers allow them, they abuse demonstrating their will to continue turning time into a weapon.
