The incidents registered on Tuesday night in Sant GervasÃ-La Bonanova are unleashing the indignation of the neighborhood’s residents, especially those who live closest to the occupied buildings known as El Kubo and La Ruïna. Ciudadanos wanted to mount a protest against the occupation in Barcelona here, and the squatters of these two farms were not amused.
Not long ago members of Valents and Vox also visited them from the same suit. Let’s talk about some people who in March threatened to burn down the neighborhood if they were evicted. That eviction was called off at the last minute for security reasons. On Tuesday night the squatters responded to the Ciudadanos protest with a few kilos of flour. The Mossos later carried out a few police charges.
“And then the squatters left for reeds,” say several residents of the surrounding area. “Because these occupy do what they want, as always.” “And the City Council, on the other hand, does nothing. Total passivity!” “In any case, that some political parties come here to incite people who warn us that they will get into our houses does not seem acceptable to us.” “No, not everything goes as long as you win votes.”
A few days ago, the Ciudadanos candidate, Anna Grau, wrote to the rest of the parties to encourage them to accompany her here every Tuesday and stand up to the illegal occupation. Those of the CUP tore the letter into a thousand pieces, the popular Daniel Sirera replied that he was not there to put on shows and the rest of the formations remained silent. Eva Parera did come and claimed that she was the first to put this problem on the table. The mayor of Valents already starred in a clash with these squatters a few weeks ago that quickly went up on social networks. And a few representatives of Vox, who were nearby in a security talk with several neighbors, came over as soon as they heard what was happening. A few weeks ago they also came to take some photos.
Albert Batlle, deputy mayor of Seguridad and councilor responsible for the district of Sarrià -San GervasÃ, explains that the City Council is trying to facilitate the simultaneous eviction of both properties, precisely to avoid incidents like those on Tuesday. “In this context, the attitude of Ciudadanos, Valents and Vox seems irresponsible to us”.
