The actor and director Daniel Guzmán, known for his role in the series Aquí no hay quien viva, can be described as a ‘sensitive’ person regarding leftist causes, supportive and committed. Moreover, through various public statements and a tweet or two shared on his profile on the social network X, we can even assert that he agrees with Sánchez that the occupation “is a hoax.”
But it seems that Guzmán has faced reality head-on, as the actor has been fined and convicted for a minor injury offense for physically evicting three squatters from a property he owns located between Casa de Campo and the Manzanares River.
According to the ruling, Guzmán and four other “quite strong” men attacked the unfortunate squatters to evict them from the residence. The victims recognized the actor and recorded him on video, which seems to have been crucial for demonstrating his involvement, as the actor has denied the facts at all times.
In total, six young people had squatted the property, but only three were present at the time of the events: they claim they attempted to contact Guzmán to try to reach an agreement on the housing situation, considering the director to be “sensitive to housing issues.” Guzmán has been sentenced to a fine of ten euros for two months, about 600 euros, and will have to pay 350 euros to one of the squatters as civil liability.
The response on social media did not take long to arrive.

But these boys still haven’t understood what squatting means for communists and independence supporters. Let’s remember Gemma Galdón who “had no words” regarding the squatting of her house, or Carles Riera who didn’t know how to respond to what he would do if squatters occupied his home, or the independent mayor of Caldes de Malavella (Girona) who felt “helpless” when squatters “occupied” his house, going so far as to chase them away with an axe in hand. In summary, yes, let them squat all private properties… except theirs.
