Different dynamics of the Expropriated Hotel

Since the beginning of the use of this space as a Socialist Center on December 26, 2019, training seminars have been held since then, as well as Imaginate initiatives to demand the payment of debts to various workers.

The space was built 17 years ago, but it was not used until it was rescued by the young people organized from the village. At the time of the implementation of the project, they stated that their objective was "to give concrete alternatives and real solutions to the current context of crisis" and to be "the center of the cultural, social and political dynamics" already existing in the city, as well as to have a space as "basic infrastructure to strengthen the socialist process".

In 2020, in the midst of the pandemic, it launched a network of solidarity with the Adolescent of Legutiano, setting in motion a bank of food and commodities for life.
