Overview
- The administrative court authorized entry to the municipally owned B9 site and allowed police to assist if needed, setting a 15‑day window for the eviction.
- The decision cites grave risks, including a tuberculosis outbreak affecting ten people, a fatal stabbing in the compound, insalubrity, improvised gas canisters and heightened fire danger.
- Badalona acknowledges it lacks residential alternatives for the roughly 400 residents, saying it can only offer short‑term accommodation to about 30 particularly vulnerable people, with 166 cases on social‑services rolls.
- The prosecutor did not oppose the operation but conditioned it on providing appropriate housing resources and urged a phased, multi‑day execution carried out during daylight under the city’s homeless‑assistance protocol.
- Residents, advocacy groups and allied lawmakers requested precautionary measures from the Catalan High Court and pressed the regional government to step in to secure housing solutions.
