Arran Vandalizes Gerard Piqué's Cerdanya Home

On November 18, 2024, the youth organization Arran vandalized Gerard Piqué's luxury home in Cerdanya, Spain, to protest against the region's housing crisis. The group, linked to the left-wing CUP political party, spray-painted messages like 'Fuera pijos' ('Get out, snobs') on the property, claiming that 64% of homes are second or third residences, often occupied only a few days a year. This act was intended to highlight how affluent individuals and tourism are driving up rental prices, making it difficult for locals to afford housing. Arran's video stated that such luxury developments force residents out, asserting that wealthy outsiders have no place in their community. While the protest has garnered mixed reactions, it has ignited discussions about the impact of tourism on local housing and the need for policy changes to protect residents. Piqué has yet to publicly respond to the incident.
