The president of the PP municipal group at the Barcelona City Council, Daniel Sirera, has sent a burofax to the Minister of Interior, Núria Parlon, in which he demands that, within a maximum of 48 hours, the encampment for housing installed in plaça Catalunya be evicted, and warns that he will initiate legal actions if the Generalitat does not intervene.
In a statement released this Friday, Sirera has criticized that it is "absolutely unacceptable for one of the most emblematic spaces in Barcelona to have been occupied for more than a month by tents and makeshift structures while the mayor Jaume Collboni and the president Salvador Illa are unable to guarantee compliance with the law."
In the burofax, the Popular Party leader recalls that Article 19 of the Constitution recognizes the right to freedom of movement and argues that the accumulation of tents, structures and other camping elements "hinders passage and restricts the usual use of the square".
