- On Friday morning, police officers evacuated and closed the new youth centre in San Sebastián’s Old Town. Last Saturday they occupied Aldamar Street, a video club that has been vacant for many years. LARA has been informed by local sources that the local police do not have a court order and the possibility of illegal eviction is gaining momentum.
A young man who was filming how the local police were emptying the premises has been stripped of his cell phone. This is not the first time that illegal evictions have been carried out in San Sebastián by the local police in response to the occupation movement.
Young people from the neighborhood are gathering around the venue.

It is also reported that a young person has been identified:
They've identified a young man and they don't have the badge exposed. There are 12 border guards and so many ammunition camps for less than 10 young people. We have been confirmed that there was no permission to enter and seal the edict, they have done it illegally. Leave the youth and the old town in the pact!
