Young people who have occupied the old factory claimed Flex the building to make a common use for all inhabitants of the area west of the city. debris and garbage bags are piled up to clear a space in the coming days could be opened more or less official. In Flex abandoned factory on Avenue Prince of Asturias, from Friday's new activity. But this time we do not think the rest are mattresses that until little more than a decade it was produced, but in the hard work to put a local who claims to be a social center and a "space that gives life to the city. "
"We had support from Friday," said one young that was yesterday The ReFLEXón , a name that has made this space. Support became more evident since yesterday out its initiative in the media, which has made them think that "going to keep coming and more people" because the main goal is to make a building "for all." To do this, planned "to meet the needs of people and adapt to them" in all the activities that are in place, expected to begin later this week with a launch party where there will be a recital of poems.
One of the main concerns of these young people is to show their work, because "we are here working to have self-managed space "because" we have no profit and much less to annoy the neighbors, "they explain.
Therefore, among the first tasks is to become known among the neighborhood with signs and mailboxes a manifest between Nearby property explaining who they are and what their intentions are. They also have plans to meet with the neighborhood association to gain their support and at the same time, providing the space being renovated for some of its activities.
This occupation is not spontaneous . 'We have long been thinking, "they say, it is not always easy to find a place like this, a dream factory, as stated the motto of his former tenants and they may not have cared to take as name, though he declined because there is already a center in Madrid with the same name.
The factory has been abandoned about a decade and since then all he has done is degraded. To access it did through an open window and then found that the door was also open, so that "we have not broken anything," they say.
In the building of 11,000 square meters, there is room for almost anything, although at first enabled the entry, three rooms for workshops and a library. Use as a residence is not among his intentions, but these days if they stay some of them to sleep and vigilance. Still, a fourth bedroom can become a case of urgent need. In any case, these young people want to make clear that all they do in the center is working to benefit everyone, because in his life "we have our work, our flat and we pay our taxes."
