A couple of days ago we published on our Facebook profile an image regarding the preparation of the second scene of
Bellvitge live role-playing
. We explained that the scene will be set during the development of the
Not one more block!
campaign and the boycott actions against the works led by residents of Bellvitge in the mid-70s, which resulted in the halting of the construction of new blocks in the neighborhood.
Someone yesterday, at the meeting of the
Bellvitge50
group, which is preparing the commemoration of the neighborhood’s 50th anniversary in 2015, commented on whether these events could be related to the current demands in the Gamonal neighborhood (Burgos). Also,
Magda Anglès
pointed out in the comments of the publication the relevance of the image that accompanied it.
The relationship between these two events is clear: in both cases, the residents, in a self-organized manner, interposing their own bodies and through action, resist a city management model that responds to the interests of a few (and which are the same in Bellvitge in 1976 as in Gamonal in 2014).
Manuel Domínguez
-member of the
Centre d’Estudis de L’Hospitalet
– also explained to us that, during the protests, the residents would knock down the cement deposit that can be seen in the image we published the day before yesterday at night.
Today we leave you another image in which you can see the same demolished and ‘artistically intervened’ deposit, and in which you can read: «THE LAND IS OURS».
