The eviction of the sister of the singer Lluís Gavaldà in the Riera de Gaià postponed
Annabel Gavaldà, sister of singer Lluís Gavaldà, has received a 60-day extension on the eviction of her home in Riera de Gaià, which was originally scheduled for this Tuesday. The property is owned by Sareb, a company managing assets from bank restructuring, after the construction firm went bankrupt. Sareb decided last-minute not to proceed with the eviction, likely due to social and media pressure. The court delegation tasked with executing the eviction did not enter the town of Tarragonès after learning of Sareb’s decision. Annabel and her husband have lived in the house for 13 years without missing any rent payments. They attempted to negotiate new rental terms or purchase the property but faced resistance. The previous contractor continued collecting rent but failed to pay the bank loan or municipal taxes (IBI). Annabel expressed emotional frustration over the situation, emphasizing the need for public support to negotiate with the court and remove their belongings.
The Spanish National Prosecution Service has archived the complaint filed against Xavier García Albiol, the mayor of Badalona, for alleged hate crimes related to the eviction of the former institute B9 in December 2025. The complaint was submitted by the political group Comuns, led by euro MP Jaume Asens, who accused Albiol of potentially committing four offenses: denial of public service due to discrimination, hate crime, disobedience to judicial authority, and administrative misconduct. However, the prosecution has determined these actions do not constitute criminal offenses. The eviction took place on December 17, 2025, involving approximately 400 individuals living in the building for two and a half years. The operation, conducted by the Mossos d'Esquadra with participation from the National Police and Urban Guard, resulted in around 15 arrests and nearly 200 identifications. It followed a court resolution dated December 12, 2025, authorizing the city council to reclaim the property, which would later be demolished. Jaume Asens filed the complaint shortly after the eviction, citing concerns over potential discriminatory practices. The Supreme Court of Justice of Catalonia had previously approved the judicial decision allowing the eviction, dismissing the appeal from eleven former residents who opposed the entry into the premises. Albiol currently faces other investigations unrelated to the institute B9. These include an inquiry into a social media post from June 2026, in which he referred to a robbery suspect as "human scum" and stated he would return him "swimming back to Morocco." The prosecution is evaluating whether this statement could constitute a hate crime, following a complaint from the human rights organization IréDia. In a separate development, the eviction of Annabel Gavaldà, sister of singer Lluís Gavaldà, from her home in Riera de Gaià has been postponed for 60 days. This delay follows last-minute decisions by the asset management company Sareb, which owns the property after the builder went bankrupt. The judicial team scheduled to carry out the eviction did not proceed due to pressure from the public and media. Gavaldà expressed emotional relief at the postponement, stating she needed community support to negotiate with the judicial team and move her belongings from the house where her family has lived for 13 years without missing any rent payments. She noted that the previous landlord continued collecting rent while failing to pay bank loans and municipal taxes. Lluís Gavaldà publicly appealed for help to prevent the eviction through social media, emphasizing his sister's long-standing residence and consistent payment history. The regional president, Salvador Illa, confirmed the eviction had been halted. Despite efforts to find alternative arrangements, including negotiating a new lease or purchasing the house, Gavaldà and her partner have faced closed doors.
The Spanish National Prosecution Service has archived the complaint filed against Xavier García Albiol, the mayor of Badalona, regarding the eviction of the former B9 institute in Badalona, which housed around 400 migrants. The eviction took place on December 17 of last year after a court ruling authorized the city council, led by the Popular Party (PP), to reclaim the property for demolition. The move was challenged by the Catalan leftist party 'Comuns,' who filed a criminal complaint alleging potential hate crimes and administrative misconduct. However, prosecutors concluded that the actions did not constitute criminal offenses. This decision follows a July ruling by Catalonia’s High Court of Justice upholding the legality of the eviction. Albiol remains under investigation for another alleged hate crime related to a social media post criticizing a detainee.

The Public Prosecutor's Office in Barcelona has archived the complaint filed by the Catalan leftist party 'Comuns' against Xavier García Albiol, the mayor of Badalona, regarding his alleged involvement in a hate crime related to the eviction of an immigrant settlement from a former school building in December 2025. The complaint was submitted by European Parliament member Jaume Asens shortly after the police operation, which forcibly removed people living in the building under court order. The complainants argued that Albiol, a member of the Popular Party (PP), might have committed hate crimes, denied public service due to discrimination, disobeyed judicial authority, and committed abuse of power. However, the Public Prosecutor’s Office has now dismissed these allegations.

Lluís Gavaldà, a singer from the band Els Pets, has publicly appealed online to prevent his sister Annabel from being evicted from their home in Riera de Gaià, Tarragonès. The family has lived there for 13 years and has always paid rent, but the property was recently acquired by a new owner after the previous developer went bankrupt. Despite attempts to negotiate a new rental agreement or purchase the house, they have been unable to reach any resolution. The eviction was scheduled to take place on October 20th at 10 AM, though Catalan President Salvador Illa stated that the process had been paused. Annabel expressed emotional distress over the situation, emphasizing the need for public support to negotiate with the court-appointed team and remove their belongings before the eviction. It was revealed that the former landlord had continued collecting rent while failing to pay the bank loan or municipal taxes.
