“Campoamor 58, the new house of the “ex-activist” of the PAH and the “ex-squatter” Mr. Ada Colau…” (sic). With this message circulates on Twitter (here either here) an image of the house to which the mayor of Barcelona supposedly would have moved after “a year of rehabilitation, maximum security and a budget that is not known”, as stated on Twitter. but not there is evidence that it is true.
It is not the first time that content of this type has circulated, but both the press team of his party, Barcelona en Comú, and the Barcelona City Council assure cursed.es that “Colau lives in the same flat where he used to live, a rented flat”. Also, in the Declaration of assets of Ada Colau As of June 14, 2019, there is no record of ownership of that house.

The house is owned by a Luxembourg businessman, according to Catalunya Ràdio
According to data from the Barcelona Property Registry collected by Catalunya Ràdio (07:00 to 15:07), the house at 58 Campoamor Street is “owned by a Luxembourg businessman from the diamond sector who, in principle, has nothing to do with Colau”.
The house on Campoamor Street, they say, “is not in the name of Colau or anyone in his family. Therefore, Ella Colau does not own either of these two houses that she is rumored to be going to live in.”
Repeated misinformation
This is not the first time that similar content has been disseminated regarding the place of residence of the mayor of Barcelona. For example, on previous occasions, it was reported that Ada Colau had moved to an attic on Passeig de Sant Gervasi (Barcelona). But, as we already countedthere was no evidence of such a move.
The press team of Barcelona en Comú also assured then that the mayor “had not moved anywhere and lived, as always, rented in her residence near the Sagrada Familia”. In addition, Colau herself denies it on your personal Instagram account.
Therefore, there is no evidence that Ada Colau has moved to a house on Calle Campoamor 58 in Barcelona, nor that she has stopped living for rent as is said in networks. This is what they say from the Barcelona City Council and from her party, that she affirms that she continues to live in the apartment in which she lived before being mayor, near the Sagrada Familia. In addition, Ada Colau’s declaration of assets published on June 14, 2019 does not include ownership of this house or any other property.
