<br>
As racist and new fascist forces gain popularity in many European
countries, the most recent local elections in Spain saw the
widespread entry of social movement platforms into the city
parliaments. From the micropolitical experiences of the last
decade, the movement against forced evictions, the occupations,
assemblies and working groups of 15M, the municipalist movement
was born. This issue of transversal aims to discuss the practices
and processes, strategies and operations that collect in the
multiple experience of municipalism, their failures and successes,
their possible translation beyond the borders of the Spanish
State.</p>
<p> Beyond the simple opposition of movement and institution, it has
been and continues to be not a mere question of taking over the
institutions in the Spanish cities, but of testing a new
institutionality, instituent practices and constituent processes.
Traversing the national structures of centralist politics, under
the radar of the transnational economic flows, a virulent movement
emerged in waves across Spain, which carries the potential to
mushroom beyond the Spanish borders: towards a concrete assemblage
of rebellious cities in Europe, but also to a confluence that
overflows all given scalings, from the smallest local context of
the village or city neighborhood to the translocal formation of
monster municipalisms.<br>
