The tribute included a rally, a demonstration, and a floral offering to remember Olga and demand urgent action on the right to housing. Attendees carried banners with slogans including 'For Olga, mother, friend, neighbour, and comrade, murdered by capitalism' and 'Without housing, there is no education. For all the Olgas. For the right to housing.' The event highlighted systemic failures in housing and mental health support, following reports that Olga had contacted authorities about her deteriorating situation. --- ## Victim of Systemic Failures, Say Advocates Olga had lived in her apartment on Carrer Comerç for over 20 years, having purchased it before taking out a mortgage with Banc Sabadell. After losing her job and child support, she struggled to meet payments. According to the Santa Eulàlia Neighbours' Association, her lawyer requested a halt to the eviction due to her diagnosed mental health condition, but the court rejected the appeal and opened a disciplinary file against the lawyer, citing insufficient medical evidence. The property was later acquired by Promontoria Coliseum Real Estate, an investment fund with ties to Banc Sabadell, after which eviction proceedings resumed. Neighbourhood groups have criticised the 'institutional abandonment' of Olga and are calling for an investigation into the chain of decisions that led to her death. > We do not accept that Olga's case be presented as an inevitable tragedy without anyone responsible, , Pau Segura, spokesperson for the Socialist Housing Union of L'Hospitalet. > She was well-known and loved in the neighbourhood. This is an injustice. , Kristian Giménez, Santa Eulàlia Neighbours' Association. > We need real changes now. , Elena Sala, friend of Olga. --- ## Demand for Policy Change The tribute has reignited debate over housing policy and mental health safeguards in eviction cases. Advocates stress that Olga had previously reached an agreement with the bank to remain in the property under social rent terms, which ended when the property changed hands. Organisations including the Socialist Housing Union of L'Hospitalet and Som Santa Eulàlia Neighbours' Association are urging local and regional authorities to reform procedures to prevent future tragedies. They demand that mental health assessments be legally binding in eviction suspensions and that vulnerable tenants be protected from speculative property practices. The Ajuntament de L'Hospitalet has not issued a public statement on the case. Residents are calling for a formal inquiry and accountability from both judicial and housing institutions. --- *Sources:* [*Nació Digital*](https://naciodigital.cat/societat/veins-de-lhospitalet-homenatgen-lolga-que-es-va-suicidar-despres-de-ser-desnonada.html?ref=barna.news)*,* [*l-h.cat*](https://www.l-h.cat/gdocs/d2651898.pdf?ref=barna.news)*.* --- ### Related on Barna.News - [Barcelona Moves to Block Crisis-Led Evictions](https://barna.news/barcelona-moves-to-block-crisis-led/) - [Real Estate Firms Offer Bribes to Concierges](https://barna.news/real-estate-firms-offer-bribes-to/) - [Residents Protest Illegal Settlement on Carrer de Petrarca](https://barna.news/residents-protest-illegal-settlement-on/) - [8,000 Homeless in Catalonia, Half in Barcelona](https://barna.news/8-000-homeless-in-catalonia-half-in/)
