The square is cordoned off and the gathering is taking place in adjacent streets, such as Carrer de l’Hospital. The police are attacking with extreme violence. “Today will be a very long day for all the politicians and businessmen who think they can impose capitalist misery without consequences,” they warn in a tweet.
“It is a completely illegal action”
Antiga Massana assures that the appeal they filed has not been resolved and that they have not been notified two weeks in advance, as is mandatory. “It is a completely illegal action”, Max Carbonell, from Antiga Massana, told Betevé tv.
He believes that the eviction was carried out without warning in the same week that the Casa Orsola eviction is also planned, to take advantage of the media hype and for this action to go unnoticed.
