Imma Mayol’s threats of fines ring hollow in Vall d’Hebron

On Tuesday this week, the third deputy mayor of Barcelona, Imma Mayol, in a clear warning given to local residents protesting at the site of a facility (a ‘narcosala’) in Vall d’Hebron, said that anyone involved in cutting the flow of traffic along the Ronda de Dalt which runs through the area would be fined.

This threat to sanction, however, did little to deter some 700 protestors from once again taking their protest to the road in question yesterday evening and cutting traffic along the route completely.

According to witnesses at the scene, there was only a minimal police presence and a number of stranded motorists who complained to the police were told they ‘did not have orders to put a stop to the demonstration’.
