Local incidents
Two young women from Sant Just were arrested on 4 December during police operations connected to pro-Palestine protests. According to activist organizations, they are being investigated for property damage and a possible hate crime. Demonstrations took place outside Esplugues police station and the courthouse. The case remains under investigation.
Transport
Four months after implementation, the B-23 bus lane shows strong results: 10-minute average savings and up to 15 minutes during peak hours. However, delays persist at the Diagonal traffic light, creating a bottleneck. Mobility groups call for further bus prioritization inside Barcelona and an interurban bus hub at Francesc Macià.
Sports
The Sant Just Swimming Club is preparing the second edition of 'Swim for La Marató', a fundraising relay swim in support of cancer research. Taking place on 14 December, the event encourages teams to accumulate as many meters as possible. Last year over 4,000 € were raised, and organizers aim to surpass 20 registered teams this year.
