Josep Torrent
Josep Torrent is a 49-year-old mathematics teacher from a suburb of Barcelona, known for his long-term residence in an apartment in the Eixample district. He gained attention in the news due to his refusal to vacate his home after the property was acquired by the investment fund Lioness Inversiones, which plans to transform the building into high-rent accommodations. As a symbol of the ongoing housing crisis and gentrification in Barcelona, Torrent's situation reflects the struggles of the middle class against rising rental prices, sparking a significant mobilization of social activists and community members in protest against the fund's speculative real estate practices.
