The Cardedeu Town Hall has issued an official statement condemning the occupation of the Hall of Columns, an institutional space, by a group of people yesterday afternoon. The council believes that using force to express demands undermines the legitimacy of any cause.
This action interfered with the normal conduct of institutional activities, forcing the relocation of the informative commission of the Plenary session that was scheduled to take place in the occupied hall.
The statement also highlights that the Town Hall has worked and continues to work to address situations of social vulnerability and guarantee the right to housing. It is noted that municipal social services have accompanied the family involved, offering them advice, support, and making all available legal and municipal resources accessible.
The Town Hall reminds that municipal councils do not have the legal capacity to execute or halt evictions, as these are ordered by judicial means and carried out by judicial officials and security forces. Municipal intervention is limited to supporting affected families through social services.
Finally, the difficulty of accessing housing is acknowledged as a widespread structural problem that goes beyond municipal competencies and requires national-level measures. The Cardedeu Town Hall commits to continuing to advocate for the necessary tools to effectively address the housing needs of its citizens.
