Artists were painting new murals in the grounds of Hospital Borda in Barracas yesterday just a few metres away from the scene where violent clashes took place between the Metropolitan Police and protesters on Friday.

The trouble started early on Friday morning when city government workers started demolishing the hospital’s carpentry and furniture workshop as part of a plan to build a new civic centre on the premises.

The Metropolitan Police was trying to prevent protesters including hospital staff and militants from the Asociación Trabajadores del Estado (ATE) from entering the workshop so the outbuilding could be demolished. Some 30 people were injured including a couple of journalists as police used batons and fired rubber bullets at the protesters.
Bicycles also formed part of the event with people encouraged to arrive on two wheels
