The Urban Police of Barcelona has evicted this Sunday a squatted building in the district of Sants-Les Corts, action in which it has charged against several people, among them the deputy of the CUP Carles Riera.
The eviction took place this afternoon at number 46 Montegre street, in Les Corts, a property owned by the Barcelona City Council and which, according to municipal sources reported to EFE, "has been squatted less than twenty-four hours ago".
The residents of the neighborhood had asked that the building not be demolished by the city council and it was finally squatted with the intention of allocating it to families in vulnerable situations.
The aforementioned municipal sources have specified that the Urban Guard has evicted twenty-six people, none of them minors.
They indicate that the Center for Emergencies and Social Emergencies of Barcelona (CUESB) "has been notified and was in contact with the Urban Police at all times."
Of the four evicted family units, three have refused the services of the CUESB, and access to the center for the fourth is being managed.
The CUP, for its part, has denounced on social networks that the Urban Police have attacked neighbors "who were demonstrating peacefully", including deputy Carles Riera.
This formation has also criticized that four vulnerable families have been evicted from a publicly owned building.
