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.
