Monica Graciageneral secretary of the SUP, described the agreement with Desokupa as “historic”. “This is a plus. It's another thing. We have a problem on the streets,” Gracia said. “There is excessive violence, authority has been lostand colleagues are increasingly at risk. With this agreement, we want them to feel safer,” he added. Desokupa, a Spanish company founded in 2016, has become a household name in the field of extrajudicial evictions. Its fame is not only due to its fast methods, but also to its ties to the far rightwhich has caused controversy and debate in Spanish society. The company, run by Daniel Estevea former nightclub bouncer and professional boxer, presents himself as a quick solution and effective against the illegal occupation of properties. However, his speech and actions have raised suspicions about his ideological orientationOn several occasions, Desokupa has been accused of using coercive and violent methods to evict residents, leading to multiple complaints and court convictions. One of the most controversial aspects of Desokupa is the relationship with the far right. Esteve and his team have been seen at events and demonstrations organized by far-right groups, and their rhetoric on social media often reflects an ideological stance aligned with these movements. In addition, the company has received explicit support from political and media figures with ties to the far rightwhich reinforces the perception that Desokupa is not just an eviction agency but also a political player with a specific agenda. The Majadahonda case of April 2023 is an illustrative example of the controversy surrounding Desokupa. During an attempted eviction in this municipality, known as one of the richest in Spain, violent clashes took place between residents and Desokupa employees. The residents accused the company of using intimidating and violent tacticsincluding the use of dogs and knives. This incident exposed not only Desokupa's questionable methods, but also his ability to cause significant social conflict. The connection between Desokupa and the far right is also reflected in her communication strategy. The company uses social media to spread its message and gain support, often using language that resonates with the feelings of insecurity and frustration of certain sectors of the population. This strategy has been effective in mobilizing supporters and customers, but has also been criticized for fueling polarization and hatred.
