On July 20, 2010, Iniciativa per Catalunya Verds (ICV) said goodbye to the historic headquarters it had on Ciutat de Barcelona street, next to City Hall, to move to a much larger and more modern one –inside, not outside– a few minutes' walk away. In Rellotge passage, with access from a gate on Escudellers street, the eco-socialists were there until 2019, when, drowning in debt, they had to resort to bankruptcy proceedings to liquidate the party that was the heir to the PSUC. In the midst of the real estate bubble, that new headquarters had cost 7.5 million euros –including a significant renovation–, financed mainly by CaixaBank. Seven years later, that building that ended up condemning the party is for sale on the real estate portal Building Center –CaixaBank's real estate subsidiary– for 1.75 million euros. It is no longer owned by ICV, but by the same financial institution, which has taken possession of it due to the impossibility of selling it during the bankruptcy proceedings.

The building of the Sagrado Corazón de Jesús School in Gavà, valued at €2.3 million, has gone up for auction for a starting price that is practically half of its value. The school announced its closure in mid-April, a decision that forced students to be relocated to other schools in the municipality. The school had been facing financial difficulties in recent years, which led to bankruptcy proceedings.

If it were not for the moratorium around the bankruptcy proceedings, 130,000 Spanish entrepreneurs would have already been dragged to court to meet their debts and then close their businesses. SMEs are at the gates of having to take this decision if they do not receive a last-minute help, according to the latest barometer of the General Council of the Colleges of Administrative Managers. "We hope not to reach this situation", says the president of the entity, Fernando Santiago, who at the same time ensures that this "surprising" figure will result in both contests of creditors and direct disappearances. "Companies are waiting for a decision that allows them to survive and therefore endure more than they can", he adds.
