Barcelona’s PP group is pressing mayor Jaume Collboni to carry out the eviction of Can Vies in Sants, ten years after the serious riots linked to the occupied centre.
The party says the city should now act on the site, which became the focus of major unrest a decade ago. The request puts the issue back on the agenda in Barcelona, with the debate centred on what the council should do next.
Can Vies has long been one of the city’s most contentious spaces, and the PP’s call is aimed directly at the mayor’s office. For readers following local politics, our Community coverage tracks the wider neighbourhood issues that often shape these disputes.
The move also comes as Barcelona continues to balance public order, neighbourhood concerns and the politics of occupied spaces. For more local coverage, see our Sport section, where we follow other city stories with strong community impact.
For background on the centre itself, see the Can Vies entry and the Barcelona City Council website for official city information.
