"We are going to have to mess it up", Desokupa's threat after the boycott of his canvas against Sánchez

The Desokupa canvas continues to be one of the sources of tension in the 23-J campaign, a give and take that seems to be far from having written its last chapter. After the fabric was placed in a building in Madrid -with a message that advocated sending the President of the Government Pedro Sánchez to Morocco for the hypothetical installation in Moncloa of the company linked to the extreme right-, a group of housing activists worthy has covered it this Friday with messages contrary to that of its creators.

And these have not taken long, straight away to react with a direct threat: "We are going to have to mess it up.... rt and that all of Spain finds out about the pupa that makes the canvas of freedom."

This reaction from Daniel Esteve, the exporter of a nightclub who currently leads the largest business against squatters, has occurred after the Madrid Housing Movement has tuned the original canvas to denounce his speech and his tone.

"Faced with their threats and their violence, yesterday as today, they will meet the organized working class. We do not give up anything, we want everything: free, universal and quality housing", reads the message with which the platform's activists They have covered the Desokupa canvas with slogans in favor of the right to housing.

In a press release, the platform states that "Desokupa has received its response." "No rents, no mortgages, no debts. Housing, free, universal, quality and under workers' control," says one of the posters installed by the activists on the Desokupa canvas.

The platform ensures that the housing unions have been "denouncing the mafia and intimidating practices carried out by these types of companies for partisan purposes, promoting a social alarm about the occupation that has only served to expand the possibilities of doing business with the housing to alarm companies, real estate companies and large property owners".
