Overview
- Spain’s public prosecutor, in a filing to an administrative judge on Wednesday, said the city failed to carry out the court’s December order and left most B9 residents on the street without effective support.
- City officials replied on Thursday that a February 20 ruling did not require alternative housing and cited a 20‑page Social Services report claiming 55 vulnerable people were referred to housing resources.
- The December 4 order authorized clearing the former B9 institute but told the city to use its homeless-assistance protocol and to report what actions it took.
- The prosecutor said Badalona lacked an operative protocol and pointed to accounts that people first slept near B9 and later under the C‑31 bridge after the clearance.
- Investigators opened a probe in January, requested city and Social Services records, and summoned a La Directa journalist, as civic groups pressed for a stronger response after five street deaths and the closure of the Can Bofí Vell shelter.
