B9

B9 is a former institute located in Badalona, Barcelona. It gained notoriety as an occupied settlement housing migrants. The location is newsworthy due to recent events following its clearance. In December, the B9 was officially desalojado (evicted/cleared). More recently, a fire broke out at the site, consuming remaining plastics and wood. This occurred shortly after another desalojo in the area, suggesting potential connections or underlying tensions. Furthermore, the Departament de Drets Socials (Department of Social Rights) has extended temporary housing for nearly a hundred migrants who were previously residing at B9, indicating ongoing efforts to address the displacement caused by the eviction. The B9 situation highlights the challenges of migrant housing and social services in the region.
