A group of migrants evicted from the old B9 institute in Badalona spent the night under a C-31 highway exit due to heavy rains and police prohibition on camping in the square. The Generalitat and entities like Cáritas and Red Cross have agreed on an emergency device to provide temporary shelter. Mayor Xavier García Albiol plans to dismantle the tents, but with caution due to bad weather.
Civil society organisations have strongly criticised the Lagos State Government's eviction of residents from Makoko and nearby areas, calling it a violation of laws and court orders. The action has displaced thousands during a time of economic hardship without providing resettlement. Community leaders had cooperated earlier based on promises of compensation and protection.

Blanca Morillo, 73, has lived 24 years in her Gijón apartment paying 460 euros rent from a pension of just over 800. After the owner's death, her son wants to raise it to 600 euros, which she cannot afford. She denounces it as a disguised eviction and seeks support to keep her indefinite contract.
