Tensions rose sharply in Collado Villalba, Spain, early Thursday morning as police and the Guardia Civil conducted a mass eviction of over 100 residents from an occupied building at 13‑15 Calle Real. The operation involved a substantial security presence, including riot units, drones, and heavy machinery, and extended over several hours.
Footage from the scene captured confrontations between residents, activists, and security forces as authorities cleared the block, which had sheltered families, children, and elderly individuals. Officials stated the eviction was necessary due to health, safety, and structural concerns.
However, residents and housing advocates condemned the action as illegal and unjust, emphasizing that many had no formal housing options. At least one individual was detained during the operation, while nearby neighbors expressed outrage over the eviction’s handling and its timing during cold winter conditions.
