Barcelona, 1931, the year in which thousands of working families stopped paying their rent.
The Universal Exposition of 1929 saw a massive influx of labour to Barcelona. The city’s population doubled, with the consequent housing problems this caused. At the end of the Exposition, a cruel crisis left the workers without jobs. The inability to pay the abusive rental prices led to widespread evictions and a revolt in the working class neighbourhoods. Barcelona thus experienced its first historical protest to achieve decent housing conditions.

What are them saying

"Pensant històricament, cal fer present el trajecte que ens porta des de la vaga de lloguers del 1931 fins a 2023. Recordar avui la vaga de lloguers contribueix a avançar en el dret a l’habitatge. Contribueix a fer presents les mobilitzacions, les lluites, que han contribuït a configurar aquesta societat. "

" Sembla mentida que un episodi amb tanta èpica com la vaga de lloguers que va viure Barcelona l’any 1931 sigui tan poc conegut. Ara la vaga reviu al segon volum d’una col·lecció acabada d’estrenar per l’Ajuntament de Barcelona, que porta per nom “Barcelona, Memòria en Vinyetes”. "

"La huelga de alquileres es un episodio importante en la historia de Barcelona, pero muy desconocido por sus gentes. "
