Barcelona’s Raval was the focus this morning after Mossos d’Esquadra tried to evict the last family living in a block on Tiger Street, according to the Raval Housing Union.
The union says the family has a valid rental contract and is up to date with payments. It also says the eviction was irregular and called on residents to gather outside the block in protest. For more local coverage, see our Community page.
What is confirmed so far
At the time of writing, the only account available here is the union’s. We have not seen a direct statement from Mossos d’Esquadra or the relevant court notice, so the police justification reported by the union, including an alleged risk of collapse, remains unconfirmed in this article.
Why this matters in Ciutat Vella
The case matters for Raval residents because it affects one of the last families in the block, and it follows an earlier eviction in January, when Catalan police removed seven families from the same building. Dozens of people gathered outside then, but were unable to stop the operation.
What to do next
Residents following the case should check updates from Mossos d’Esquadra and local notices from the Ajuntament de Barcelona. Anyone facing a similar notice should keep paperwork ready and get legal advice as soon as possible.
