The war against the squatters, which last week was focused on the Barcelona neighborhood of La Bonanova, has a new chapter in Catalonia. A team of ‘Four a day’ has traveled to Gelida, Barcelona, where hundreds of neighbors demonstrate because they want to forcefully remove the squatters who make their lives impossible. In their last attempt to evict them, it was the Mossos who have prevented the residents from carrying out this action.
The ‘CAD’ reporter was able to chat live with various affected residents while the rest demonstrated in front of the squatted building shouting: “Out, out, out” or “This town is not to be touched”.
“We carry several months of robberies in various homes, in various businesses as well as pubs, supermarkets, shops… and there comes a time when if the law can’t do anything… the mayoress of the town is under the law, but we are not, although we abide by the law”, Álex assured.
“What cannot be is that four or five kidssome minors, have terrified an entire town this way. This is our house, it is our town. we are not going to allow itwe cannot continue like this, we want peace of mind”, continued this visibly angry neighbor.
“To the children it is already whatand they are afraid until they go out, because they are robbed mobile phones, they steal everything they catch… It is scary to let children loose when this has never happened in this town, there has always been a lot of trust and familiarity here… And now, why have these people come to harm us? Well, we are not going to consent to it ”, commented, for his part, Juani.
“Us We do not want violence, what we want is order. It cannot be, either we or have come here to lynch anyone and, furthermore, all this is avoided by the Mossos. What we want is for the law to be faster, because when the law is so slow it is no longer law. My own daughter, who is a minor, is 16 years old, she can’t come here because she’s afraid of her, ”explained Álex, one of the affected residents, live on ‘Cuatro al día’ while the protests of the rest were heard. of neighbors.
