The operation is taking place on land owned by ADIF. Local authorities stated that the eviction follows a Barcelona Fire Department report concluding there is an imminent and severe risk to those living in the settlements.
“"There is a very serious and imminent risk to the people living in the settlement and, therefore, it is necessary to act urgently."
Social emergency services from CUESB and municipal cleaning crews are also on-site. This action follows the death of a 19-year-old woman last Sunday in a nearby settlement in Sant Andreu de Palomar.
