The eviction of a family residing on Menéndez y Pelayo street, in Terrassa's Can Palet neighborhood, was carried out this Tuesday, May 5, shortly before ten in the morning. Several units of the BRIMO of the Mossos d'Esquadra cordoned off the area to prevent supportive neighbors from obstructing the action.

Despite the efforts of the Platform for People Affected by Mortgages (PAH) to intervene on behalf of the family, a couple with two minor children, the officers proceeded with the judicial order. The property is owned by a vulture fund, and the platform denounces that the objective is "to speculate, selling the apartment to an unscrupulous investor".

The PAH, along with the educational community of the Pau Vila i Dinarès school, has criticized that no social housing options were offered to the family, as the owners refused to negotiate at any point. The only alternative achieved, in extremis, was the temporary relocation of the four family members to a guesthouse for one month.

The platform considers this measure "no solution" and demands that the family be granted access to protected housing and that the vulture fund be forced to offer a housing alternative. The school's faculty has also asked the City Council to ensure that the child can finish the school year at the same center and that the family be assisted in processing their social housing application.

This case occurs a few months after the same educational community raised an alarm about another eviction of a family with three minors, also on Menéndez y Pelayo street. On that occasion, the property was owned by the Catalan Housing Agency, and the combined pressure from the school, the PAH, and the City Council allowed the eviction to be stopped and a solution to be found.
