Spain financial crisis evictions

Residents set fire to tables and objects that had all around at night in order to keep warm as they wait to be evicted in Madrid, Spain. Thirteen families in need, live in poor hygienic and health conditions in a property they started to occupy ten years ago. Madrid City Hall issued an order for eviction of the families, most of them unemployed, and demolition of all the properties they have occupied and built. The families said the Madrid City Hall did not give any housing alternative and that the eviction is motivated by a project to build roads. The eviction was finally postponed with the help of the Victims' Mortgage Platform (PAH). Photo: Rodrigo Garcia/NurPhoto
