No eviction, but with homework: politicians and activists demand guarantees for the 800 people at the Valencia F1 circuit

El Periódico Mediterráneo - General11 September 2026 at 07:31

There was no eviction. In recent days, rumors circulated that the Valencia city council intended to evict the mega-settlement at the Formula 1 circuit on Thursday, September 10. However, the municipality had already clarified, as it had been doing since August, that the rumor was unfounded and there is no order to dismantle the camp, at least for now.

The Solidarity Platform did not trust these guarantees and held a gathering this morning at the circuit. The demonstration aimed to demand formal guarantees for the approximately 800 people living at the Valencia F1 circuit.

Several politicians joined the gathering, including representatives from Compromís, PSPV and Podem València. The opposition parties took the opportunity to criticize the city council's management and demand a definitive solution for the situation of the residents at the circuit.

The context is one of prolonged uncertainty, as eviction rumors have been circulating since August, without the authorities presenting a concrete plan to relocate or regularize the situation of the hundreds of people living in the space.

Virtual presence of deputies 'fills' Alerj, despite nearly empty plenary and sessions lasting only half an hour

25 days from the elections, the Legislative Assembly of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj) presents a contrast between the virtual and physical presence of deputies. While the majority of the 70 parliamentarians register remote access during votes, in-person participation has dropped to just 5 to 10 deputies per session. With a reduced quorum, sessions have lasted between 20 and 30 minutes, with mostly tribute matters approved, such as the Tiradentes Medal to former Flamengo player Petkovic. The remote voting system was instituted during the Covid-19 pandemic and remains in effect.
