Overview
- Catalonia’s Department of Social Rights declared its emergency response complete, reporting 120 of 180 identified vulnerable former B9 residents placed in temporary accommodation with aid groups.
- Reports from the site indicate roughly 50 to more than 80 tents remain under the C-31 bridge, with many evacuees declining offers they view as short-term, distant or unclear.
- Several people were relocated by the Red Cross and partners to placements outside Badalona, including in Lleida, Girona and Tarragona, and a parish shelter was earlier blocked by neighborhood protests.
- The Public Prosecutor has requested Badalona’s documentation on housing alternatives ordered by the court, and MEP Jaume Asens has filed a criminal complaint against Mayor Xavier García Albiol alleging discriminatory denial of service, hate crime, disobedience and malfeasance.
- Regional authorities and social organizations accuse the city of inaction, citing the closure of the Can Bofí Vell shelter, while Albiol defends the clearance as enforcement against illegal occupation.
