“Locksmiths and firemen in Spain are rebelling against a wave of evictions in the economic crisis by refusing to help bailiffs open ruined homeowners’ doors to throw them out. A wave of evictions of mortgage-holders ruined by the recession has prompted several suicides and sparked a protest movement that last week brought a motion to parliament for a law to end the procedure. With the locksmiths refusing to take part, some authorities have been asking the fire service to step in and break open the doors of those resisting eviction. [..] When the firefighters arrived they refused to open the door and some of them joined in the protest.”
