Police dismantle protest camp in Madrid, say authorities and activists

Authorities in Madrid dismantled a protest camp on November 3, following a month of demonstrations against the housing crisis. The eviction was reported to be peaceful, with 334 individuals removed and two arrests made. However, protest organizers described the police action as violent, claiming injuries occurred due to police actions and tear gas. The camp was established after the eviction of an elderly resident, igniting widespread protests over rising housing costs. The operation involved a significant police presence and was conducted without major incidents, according to city officials. Cleaning operations began shortly after the eviction.
