SpainThe article discusses the conflict between Radio Enlace, a community radio station in Madrid, and the local councilor David Pérez, who did not renew the concession for one of the two premises used by the station. The affected space was the only accessible location for people with reduced mobility. Javier Robles, a coordinator at Radio Enlace, criticizes Pérez’s decision, arguing that it undermines access to communication as a human right. The station has been operating since 1985 and serves as a platform for individuals with disabilities, including those who participate in programs like 'Cine Jabato.' The loss of this space threatens the continuity of their work, especially as they rely on both locations for recordings and storage. The previous mayor, Alberto Serrano, had granted them a four-year concession starting in 2022, but the current administration has not addressed their request for continued use, despite other municipal properties being leased for long periods.
