A Girona resident protested outside Girona City Council on Wednesday, 27 May 2026, after finding furniture missing from a flat that had been used for social housing. He says the property was returned to him empty and that the compensation offered by the council is not enough.
The man wore a Guy Fawkes mask, known from the film V for Vendetta, and held a sign reading, “Girona City Council stole the furniture from my house a year ago.” He says he will keep protesting until the council responds to his complaint.
The dispute centres on the value of the missing items. According to the report, the council commissioned an external valuation to assess the furniture, but the resident does not accept the figure offered.
The case raises questions about how temporary social housing arrangements are managed when a private property is returned to its owner. Clear records of the condition of a flat and its contents can help avoid disputes like this one.
The resident is now waiting for further talks with the council. For more local coverage, see our news page.
