The youth entity of the Catalan independence left, Arran, has vandalized the second residence of former footballer and businessman Gerard Piqué in Cerdanya with graffiti on the façade to denounce that the houses of the rich to spend the weekend or spend the summer in the region accentuate the housing crisis.
“Are you tired of having to go live abroad so you can’t afford decent housing in Cerdanya?” begins the video that Arran posted, in which a hooded man in a suit is seen painting “Get out posh” on the door. of the house and “Arran” on a stone wall.
Arran has defended “pointing out” the footballer’s second residence to “go on the offensive against the tourist monoculture that is drowning the Pyrenees.” “Against the posh, the rentiers and the speculators who make our lives a misery, driving us out of our towns and forcing us into precarious jobs,” the entity added.
The vandalization of Gerard Piqué’s house occurs in the context of the protests that several social and environmental groups have been carrying out in Cerdanya against the housing crisis in the region, which especially affects young people and workers.
In some towns in the region, more than 80% of houses are dedicated exclusively to second homes, which means that young people cannot find affordable housing and have to move to neighboring regions such as Berguedà, Arran denounces. Furthermore, the lack of economic alternative means that the jobs offered are of low quality and precarious.
