At 10pm the police had come inside to tell the unions members (the majority of whom are from the countryside) that they had one hour to leave since the council had issued an eviction notice. With no visible sign of compliance with the directive this was extended to 7am.
Hence on Thursday morning at 8.15 after an 18 hour long occupation riot police entered the bank to evict the squatters. One by one they were shown to the door although they had demanded as a condition of their withdrawal an appointment with members of the National Government posted in Granada. Five members of the union attended this meeting although their demands for a greatly improved social fund for the unemployed and the provision of genuinely affordable housing were merely noted without any commitments made on the part of the government.
After this the protest returned to the offices of developer/ estate agent Osuna which was quickly protected with a large cordon of police backed up by the riot squad. Following this the union called it a day although they are planning a major anticapitalist reclaim the city demonstration on December 14 in Seville which marks the 20th anniversary of the last general strike.
