Sol se transforma en la ciudad ácrata: 30 colectivos, más de 2.000 personas y el mismo frente común de la huelga general

Al disminuir la presencia del Sindicato de Inquilinas los acampados buscan reestructurar su funcionamiento para pasar a la siguiente fase. Intentarán resistir con un modelo “horizontal” en el que no destaque ningún liderazgo individual

Sol se transforma en la ciudad ácrata: 30 colectivos, más de 2.000 personas y el mismo frente común de la huelga general

The heart of the Puerta del Sol encampment, once painted orange, transformed into a diverse, plural city with no single leader. The Sindicato de Inquilinas, a union, sowed the seed for this change after a massive protest on September 26-27 in response to evictions, notably of Maricarmen Abascal. Initially, campers gathered around a large orange tent representing the union, which initially focused on collecting food.

They remained able to walk freely, but questions arose about the future direction of this spontaneous movement. With the failure of two decrees on Friday, anger and doubt grew, and media exposure from the Sindicato de Inquilinas waned as its influence decreased.

Instead of leaving, participants decided to lower the intensity of their protests. Meanwhile, around 30 additional collectives began to settle around the encampment, turning Puerta del Sol from a spontaneous protest for Maricarmen into a complex, diverse city.
