In late September neigh l @ s @ s have received notification from the Notification Service and Liens of Administrative Litigation by the Directorate General of Heritage Area of \u200b\u200bFinance asked the court for permission to carry out the eviction of the site. Background
The Solar occupies the vacant plot Olivar 48-50 since 2003, when during an initiative under Mad03 (a sample of artivism in public) was the key that gave access to the premises by part of one of the owners of the property, then immobilized by being divided and qualified as public funding in the General Plan of Madrid, so its development was stopped waiting for various procedures that have not yet completed.
Since then, the solar neighborhood has hosted a number of initiatives, among which is undoubtedly the Lavapies Film Festival, which has led to space during its six editions, but they occupy a wide range of situations, from its use as a meeting place and assemblies to the tune of space by working groups and workshops ephemeral self, through various celebrations-from weddings to birthday-by neighbors @ s that did not have other space to do that, conferences, roundtables, book launches, conferences green consumer, empowering urban gardens, bicycle shop and a long list of activities, permanent and other sporadic times, a playful , others involved, on the basis of an application adapted to the situation of space, poor, without permanent housing, suitable only for certain uses, but always available and open to any neighborhood or citizen initiative. What was a barren plot, dirty, empty it has become a unique experience for reuse of urban space.
a complex experience, which has always shown its limitations with modesty, without the hagiography that often comes hand in hand with self-advertisement, which has suffered very difficult situations related to the difficulty involved in living a lot in Lavapies, as its temporary occupation by homeless people, the inability to use him permanently influenced by climatic factors, or their own challenges, which opened an experience that Madrid is not had no previous reference, and intended as a pilot for the reuse of vacant spaces in the city largely empty of law also says.
eviction notice and meeting with the City
In the spring of this year, the Solar received notification that he had been accused of squatting, and that the council, which said to have made the ownership of the plot, would proceed with the eviction. Posts
contact the City Council in the first instance we were told there was nothing to do. Then while on a visit to the Councillor delegate Lavapiés Planning, Pilar Martínez, was presented this to a dossier on the Solar and asked for a meeting.
At that time, had jumped to the public the case of eviction and bulldozing of a new initiative on a plot of city-owned Lavapiés the Doctor Fourquet, project called Estaesunaplaza.
The meeting with the councilor Pilar Martínez took place on June 16, with both solar and presence of other municipal charges. It was agreed the transfer of solar Olivar 48, and postponed a final decision on the Doctor Fourquet, which luckily also later managed a transfer agreement. The transfer of Olivar 48 is formalized through a neighborhood association, for what was to open a file you provide, leaving the office of the General Coordinator of Planning, Lobón Beatriz, who was first sent a letter dated June 24, and with whom he stayed in that difficulties Formal would be resolved as they arise. The assignment would be "precarious ... until the date on which the implementation of equipment that provides the General Plan ... Do incompatible ... the implementation of activities that have been made on this lot, as stated in the letter of request in terms
agreed at the meeting. What happens now
During the months after that meeting, Solar has continued with their normal activities, pending the transfer to occur in fact and that the City got in touch with representatives of the plot for this purpose.
In that waiting period, surprisingly, comes the eviction notice, which states, at least, that the decision of Planning has not been sent to the Treasury, which has continued with the complaint and order the eviction, although can show other facts: from the breach of agreement by the disagreement between the Planning and Finance area. These days
Solar groups are trying to clarify the situation, but Thursday, October 8 we have not received any answer we can resolve this troublesome issue, and the only sign is the request for next week's eviction by the Treasury.
