This was confirmed yesterday – and was previewed by Ara – by the neighbors’ lawyer, Carmen Pérez-Pozo, who on Monday, in conversation with La Vanguardia, recalled that the compensation agreed with the Administrations must take into account the material, economic, and moral damages caused by the hole that opened in the early hours of July 7 at the back of the Verona pizzeria, on Teodora Lamadrid street.
After the sinkhole occurred, Jaume Collboni’s government opened a direct dialogue with the neighbors, whom they attended daily at a civic center in the neighborhood.
