The owner of the Orsola de Barcelona building, Albert Ollé, denounces in an open letter to which Servimedia had access “The criminalization” that has suffered for three years“With occupations, vandalism and discredit campaigns.”
In the letter he says that, “in recent days, my name has appeared in more than a thousand publications. Despite this, I have serious doubts that this letter receives the same diffusion from the media. Maybe because My version does not fit with the dominant storybut it is important to place the conflict in its true context. “
“I want to start by thanking,” he adds, “to the Greuges Union and to the City Council, his attempts – although a little late – of Promote a dialogue to find solutions. We had been looking for him for months, but better late than ever. What most publications do not explain is that all tenants who went directly to us found a solution. For example, Mrs. Josefa (in peace rests) renewed her contract for 450 euros per month, but this is not talked about. Nor is it said that another neighbor, after have been caught by introducing squats into the farmhe received a renewal of the contract when his father, embarrassed, interceded for him. “
In the letter he maintains that “Mr. Josep Torrent never wanted to talk to us directly. He always did it through a platform that calls herself a rash unionat. Now, after more than three years of confrontation, he has managed to be the hero and I, it seems, the criminal. Or rather, the criminal vulture, as he likes to call this platform spokeswoman. For three years, the Orsola building has been the subject of discredit campaigns, illegal occupations and even vandalism acts that They have damaged a modernist heritage that I wanted to preserve. Broken doors, painted walls and abandoned common spaces are not symbols of social justice, but of the inability to reconcile rights and duties. Is this the fighting model to be legitimized? “
“I wonder, Mr. Torrent, whatUse values transmits to your students when defending rental strikes and occupationsWhen justifying that more than 700 euros cannot be paid for an attic with 60 meters of terrace in Consell de Cent with Calabria? Or another neighbor, who prevents his son from working so as not to lose the condition as vulnerable, do you know that tomorrow could have a job if I wanted? Effort and work are values that would have to be fundamental pillars of our society, but it seems that they are of less and less importance. There has been a lot of vulnerability, but we must differentiate between who suffers it and who instrumentalizes it, “writes in the letter.
Also that “another neighbor does not explain that we offered two homes, one out and the other inside Orsola, and rejected them. In recent days, He demanded a rental of 700 euros without increases for seven years. On the other hand, Mr. Torrent, despite presenting himself as a victim, enjoys a stability with which many other tenants from Barcelona or dream. Is it fair that he, from this position, monopolizes the story of poverty while the right to responsible property is despised? “He continues.
And he adds: “On Saturday I returned to the neighborhood where I grew up, the Ronda de Sant Pau, to see the Union, where my parents taught me these values that I see today stepped on a part of the society that prefers to point out, criminalize and demand without any responsibility after receiving all kinds of insults and attacksI suppose I will finally end up selling the farm. Paradoxically, when this happens, they may meet a real vulture that will have no interest in preserving heritage or finding agreements. “In addition, he indicates that he” just wanted to maintain a modernist building that is part of the History of Barcelona “.
Going to Josep, the neighbor they want to evict, he continues: “I don’t know if tomorrow or next week he will leave Orsola, but in his recent letter he blamed Mr. Collboni, President Illa or Mr. Sánchez of his situation. Maybe , instead of seeking guilty, I would have to reflect if your situation is not a consequence of having trusted those who promised thousands of social homes and did not build almost anyor having voted for who imposed the obligation of 30% official protection, thus paralyzing the construction of new housing in Barcelona. Now we all pay the consequences. In a society where fundamental values are diluted, we must ask ourselves: who are the real vultures? “
