The dreams of the capital
On Sunday I went to the demonstration against the Copa América, which was protesting against the city model in which macro events suffocate a population that cannot pay the rent and I was surprised that there so few people. Above all because the percentage of households that live in rental in Barcelona reached to 44.1% in 2022 and it is already called the “tenant generation”. At one point, the protest met with the party that one of the Cup teams was celebrating in a bar in Barceloneta and the scene was the perfect metaphor for the class struggle: those who were at the party, come, on a terrace , dressed in polo shirts inundated by sponsoring brands, greeted, smiled and toasted those below who were biting their lips in anger. A group, to try to channelize that anger, shouted: balconing, balconing. It didn’t add up, something that the workers of the subcontractor who is doing the Camp Nou works can’t say and that they tied to Ostias last friday Capitalism, out of control, creates monsters. Fortunately, when there is noise, some things happen: the City Council buys the property in Navas de Tolosa 339 of which bone we talked the other day and that Generalitat and Hospital Clínic auctioned off to the highest bidder: 4 flats and a premises for 460,000 euros. The tranquility of your neighbors is priceless.
