The Papallona block in the Esquerra de l'Eixample neighborhood is taking a step forward in its resistance against the investment fund New Amsterdam Developers (NAD) with an indefinite rent strike. 17 residents from 4 of the 6 inhabited apartments have joined, organized with the Socialist Housing Union of Catalonia, and they hope that the remaining tenants will also end up joining. Their goal is to get the Barcelona City Council to expropriate the building on Llança Street at "zero profit," meaning that the purchase should be made at the price the fund acquired the property for, points out Anna Olesti, a resident of the block and spokesperson for the union in Eixample. The mobilized neighbors are also demanding indefinite contracts and the conversion of the current empty apartments into social housing.
