Overview

  • Municipal technicians accompanied by Guàrdia Urbana officers visited Avenida Vallcarca 83 and 87bis on July 2 and confirmed both blocks remain occupied by about 40 residents, including 13 children.
  • The City Council announced plans to file for judicial approval after administrative eviction notices issued in March yielded no voluntary vacancies.
  • A court has imposed precautionary measures suspending the administrative eviction of the Farigola 3 nave, a ruling the council intends to challenge on appeal.
  • Judges rejected precautionary relief for the block at Avenida Vallcarca 83, and the council has not received any court notification regarding the status of the building at number 87bis.
  • Barcelona’s government vows to arrange social and housing assistance for displaced families, emphasizing support for vulnerable children.
