Gerard Pique responds after house is vandalised – ‘Suffocating the Pyrenees’

Barcelona icon and Andorra owner Gerard Pique has come under fire in the northern-most border of Spain with France, after a group called Arran Jovent [Arran Youth] vandalised his property in La Cerdanya. The town in the Pyrenees is part of the Vall d’Aran, who have their own language and autonomous authority, and is a popular place for luxury skiing in Spain.

Pique is one of many wealthy people who own property in the area, and escape to La Cerdanya during the winter for weekend skiing or during holidays. The area is next to Andorra, where many rich and famous in Spain also have property due to the lower taxes.

“We point out Gerard Pique’s luxury residence in La Cerdanya. Let’s go on the offensive against the tourism monoculture that is suffocating the Pyrenees, against the posh, rentiers and speculators who make our lives a misery. These posh s***s, we’re not your decoration,” declared a statement from ‘Arran Jovent’ [Arran youth].
