Blanca Espinosa, a 78-year-old neighbor, who had lived in an apartment in the Gothic neighborhood of Barcelona since 1968, was evicted this Thursday. On November 22, neighborhood pressure managed to stop the elderly woman's fifth eviction attempt.

The entity Resistim al Gòtic has released a statement accusing the City Council “and especially the Social Rights area headed by Mara Eugènia Gay for having broken an agreement that was made”
