Mass occupation of Historic Workers center
Poblenou neighborhood, Barcelona
This action is a response to the unilateral closure by BARCELONA CITY COUNCIL of the Flor De maig (May Flower) center.
This afternoon, amid a festive atmosphere and protest, five hundred residents Poblenou opened new historical workers social center “La Flor de Mayo”, evicted by the City Council last May, recoverting the last historic building of the cooperative movement that still had social and cultural use in the district.
The center will be used by over 290 local organisations, and be run on the Assembly system, with no hierarchy.
This space has been and always will be in the neighborhood. The back in 1977 and we have recovered now!
“They’ve had 35 years to expropriate it. If they had interest in keeping open the Flower of May have found a solution, as they have done elsewhere.
They say they do it for money shows that they have no interest in popular culture of the neighborhood, “Jean Marie, a member of the Association of Poble Nou neighborhood.
