It is not what happens in Barcelona. For six months the "okupas" have been inside an apartment that a family left completely closed to go away for a weekend, the Mossos arrived 15 minutes after the occupation, probably alerted by "Securitas" and did absolutely nothing. Saw everything from my window, and now I’m terrified if I have to leave my house for one day.

If that was the primary residence of the family, it wouldn't be considered a "occupation" as discussed in this submission, but rather "breaking and entering" ("allanamiento de morada", or similar), and police should definitely get them out ASAP, anything else is a disgrace.

But again, has nothing to do with okupas because it wouldn't be considered an occupation in the first place.

Try go to the local news, because if the police does nothing about this, I'm 100% sure the news are interested in this story.

>It is not what happens in Barcelona.

Of course not since it's a city in a different country with different laws.
