Abstract
This paper explores the topic of social justice and the Right to the City as experienced through the enforced regulation ‘Gag Law’ in Madrid. This policy has been explored up-taking a Foucauldian view-use and organisation of space, and using the concept of the Right to the City developed by Lefebvre. Hence, the ‘Gag Law’ has aimed to prohibiting undesirable protests, restraining political rights and the right to protest. Evaluating the case study of Madrid, results demonstrate that the fusing control and the claim to ‘community safety’ of neoliberal agendas, caused a shrinking of democratic rights in the Spanish city. The main objective has been to stress the importance to allow for a deeper understanding of urban policy implications on citizen’s rights.
