Banners, small makeshift barricades and housing rights groups represented the anti-eviction efforts in Malaga's Sacaba area on Tuesday morning, for when the city council had scheduled the eviction of motorhomes.

Despite the notice, around 70 vehicles remained in the area. Their owners expressed their unwillingness to leave without the municipal authorities offering them an alternative solution.

On behalf of the Los Sacabeños residents' association, Fernando Rueda highlighted the seriousness of a problem dating back three years. He stated that "the inaction of the city council" has only led to the worsening of the issue.
