YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A longtime antieviction activist has just been elected mayor of Barcelona, becoming the city’s first female mayor. Ada Colau cofounded the antieviction group Platform for People Affected by Mortgages and was an active member of the Indignados, or 15M Movement. Colau has vowed to fine banks with empty homes on their books, stop evictions, expand public housing, set a minimum monthly wage of $670, force utility companies to lower prices, and slash the mayoral salary. Colau enjoyed support from the Podemos party, which grew out of the indignados movement that began occupying squares in Spain four years ago. Ada Colau joins us to discuss her victory.
