‘A tide of squatters’ spreads in Spain in wake of foreclosures

“If the organization known as Okupatutambien, or ‘Become a Squatter Too’ has its way, the country will see a mass expropriation of abandoned or repossessed property to resolve the housing crisis.  According to a 117-page “Squatters’ Guide” published on the Internet by the group, there are 3 million empty homes in Spain, or about 100 for each of the 30,000 homeless.  The guide advises would-be squatters on how to stake out, enter and remain inside properties, leaving the rightful owner and authorities powerless to evict them. It also offers free counseling from an office in downtown Madrid on how to siphon water and electricity from municipal supplies and how to deal with law-enforcement officers.”
