The Badalona Urban Guard (Barcelonès Nord) has opened proceedings in a supermarket located on Alfonso The agents have drawn up up to eight minutes that could end in criminal proceedings against the owners of the establishment. Neighbors in the area notified the Anti-Occupation Department of the situation, from where the action to cut off the electricity in the establishment and open a file has been coordinated together with the Citizen Security Area, the Public Health Area and Endesa so that they have an legal connection.
During the action, all the refrigerated food in the premises (meat, dairy products, frozen foods, etc.) was removed from the owners to ensure that no products were sold in poor condition.
The mayor of Badalona, Xavier Garcia Albiol, explained that "we work intensely to carry out this type of coordinated actions, since we cannot allow businesses to operate with the light on," he said, not only because it is illegal, but because "These types of connections often pose a danger to all neighbors due to the risk of fire and other types of incidents that they entail."
Albiol thanked citizens for their collaboration and stressed that "from the municipal government we fight forcefully against all those who endanger the safety of residents and we ensure that no one believes that they can do whatever they want without following the rules."
