This was the tense evacuation of the camp during the early morning: pushing, pulling on tarps and shouts of "resist, guys"

Puerta del Sol woke up this Tuesday without a trace of those camped for the right to housing from the protest that remained installed in the square.

A large force of the National Police and the Municipal Police evicted more than 300 protesters during the early hours of the morning, in an intervention that began around 2:55 a.m., when a good part of the participants were sleeping.

The images of the operation show the police deployment to put an end to the protest and the moments of tension experienced during the eviction. The National Police union JUPOL has celebrated the eviction of the Puerta del Sol encampment and has congratulated the agents who participated in the operation. Two people have been arrested for disobedience and resistance during the eviction of 334 campers in the early hours of this Tuesday.

Some of the campers have reported charges and episodes of violence by the agents. Juan Luis Sánchez, spokesperson for the camp, has stated that he received pepper spray and suffered skin abrasions, in addition to reporting that his mobile phone was forcibly taken away. In the videos, protesters can be heard saying "resist, guys," trying to stop the police, who are pulling down the tarps and tents to remove them.

After the intervention, the square has remained closed to pedestrian traffic, with Metro access restricted and pedestrians forced to surround the space. The cleaning services have begun to remove the remains of the camp while the Police maintained the security device.
