</image> <label>Performers</label> <label>Date</label> <label>Location</label> </infobox>The Battle of Can Masdeu was an anti-eviction uprising near the Can Masdeu squat, Barcelona, Spain in 2002.
Events
In April of 2002, over 100 police came to evict 11 squatters, and they held of police efforts to remove them by locking themselves in rooms, hanging off harnesses on the building and balancing of seesaws which no occupant could be removed without dropping or killing the other. The police attempted to starve them out over three days, and a solidarity movement formed.[1] They argued with and attacked the police, blocked traffic and attacked banks, real estate offices and a McDonalds.[2]
Result
The eviction was stopped and the squatted social center survives to this day.[3]
