The Generalitat of Catalonia has activated a flood risk alert in the Barcelona metropolitan area, with Badalona the most affected by rainfall exceeding 100 liters per square meter. Heavy rains have flooded streets, damaged the Màgic shopping center, and caused disruptions to metro and roads. Authorities urge extreme caution and avoiding unnecessary travel.
Following the eviction of the former B9 institute in Badalona, led by Mayor Xavier García Albiol, over 80 people continue living in tents under the C-31 bridge, exposed to the elements during Christmas. While some have been temporarily relocated by the Generalitat and social entities, uncertainty lingers for most, with family separations and a lack of stable solutions. The affected individuals reject short-term alternatives that fail to address their precarious situation.
