As part of the strike, a massive building in central Barcelona has been occupied since last Sunday to provide a space for coordination and mobilisation. The occupation of this building is seen as the starting point for a coordinated series of mobilisations to resist the salvage cuts the Spanish government and capital are imposing to society in general.
