DOI:  10.12957/dep.2017.27765 Abstract The anti-eviction movement in Spain (Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca, PAH), among other movements, are at the forefront of the social response to the crisis and its effects. Generating a wide array of counter-hegemonic practices and conforming a new disruptive common sense that reflects the antagonist and irreconcilable interests between the elites and the popular classes. In the actual moment, with a convulse and volatile political scenario, and the appearance of anti-austerity forces in the institutions (from the local to the central level), the tension remains between attempts to consolidate and protect social rights and strategies to contain further attacks. This contrast is evidenced by the financial sector strategy to recompose itself around the housing sector, for the continuation of a economic model based on speculation around housing assets as a comodity; characterised by the entrance of international actors (i.e. investment funds) that deepen the emptying of political sovereignty of national institutions to enforce rights-based public policies. In that situation, tensions are arising between the new emerging political actors and social movements, through the defense and contestations of the later for the non-negotiable character of social rights (right to housing, as a central element). This duality of strategies, and multiple legitimacies – on the side of anti-austerity actors –, is currently opening up debates on roles, political purposes and on the eventual complementary/compatible character of those strategies. This article intends to briefly reflect on those political challenges to build effective social counter-powers that would be able, not only to contain, but to revert the democratic and social regressions suffered throughout the last years. Keywords: Spain, PAH, anti-eviction movement. Resumo O movimento contrario aos despejos na Espanha ( Plataforma de Afectados por Hipoteca, PAH) esta, entre outros, na linha de frente da resposta social a crise e aos seus efeitos. Gera uma ampla gama de praticas contra-hegemonicas e conforma um novo sentido comum de ruptura, que reflete os interesses antagonicos e irreconciliaveis ​​entre as elites e as classes populares. No momento atual, em um cenario politico convulsivo e volatil, e com o aparecimento de forcas anti-austeridade nas instituicoes (do nivel local ao nacional), permanece a tensao entre tentativas de consolidar e proteger os direitos e estrategias sociais para conter mais ataques a esses direitos. Este contraste e evidenciado pela estrategia do setor financeiro de se reorganizar em torno do setor imobiliario, para a continuacao de um modelo economico baseado na especulacao que utiliza bens imoveis como mercadorias; caracterizada pela entrada de atores internacionais (fundos de investimento) que aprofundam o esvaziamento da soberania politica das instituicoes nacionais em sua prerrogativa de fazer cumprir politicas publicas baseadas em direitos. Nesse quadro, surgem tensoes entre os novos atores politicos emergentes e os movimentos sociais, atraves da defesa e contestacoes do Estado em relacao ao carater nao negociavel dos direitos sociais (direito a habitacao como elemento central). Esta dualidade de estrategias e multiplas legitimacoes – do lado dos atores anti-austeridade – abre debates sobre os papeis, os propositos politicos e sobre o eventual carater complementar/compativel de tais estrategias. Este artigo pretende refletir brevemente sobre os desafios politicos para construir contra-poderes sociais efetivos, capazes, nao so de conter, mas de reverter as regressoes democraticas e sociais sofridas ao longo dos ultimos ano. Palavras-chave: Espanha, movimento anti-despejos, PAH.
