A community in the shade of indifference
Located in the center of Puigcerdà, the district of Cologne Simón presents itself as a testament to the institutional disinterest and non -fulfilling promises. In an environment that has suffered the passage of time and abandonment, neighbors are trapped in a reality that have been waiting for years.
After promises, disappointment
Two years ago, Francesc Armengol, leader of the future, chose Colony Simón as a stage to start his election campaign. At that time, many residents saw a ray of hope. Today, however, the neighborhood remains just as neglected, with damaged streets and a quality of life that leaves much to be desired.
The living conditions that inconvenience
The images of the neighborhood are a clear reflection of their reality: puddles that are transformed into dangerous ice plates during the winter, unpaved paths and an atmosphere that denotes a lack of care by the authorities. Neighbors are sorry that their problems do not seem to worry anyone until the election arrives.
A Passat that weighs
Colony Simón is not just a group of houses; It is a place with a story marked by marginalization. The presence of the old prison, now abandoned, symbolizes the neglect that the community has suffered over the years. “We are not part of the tourist itineraries, and this makes us invisible to the eyes of the authorities,” says a resignation resident.
A demand for basic rights
What the neighbors of Cologne Simón claim is simple: safe infrastructure, maintenance of common spaces and a minimum of recognition by the governments. They do not seek to be the center of attention, but simply that they are valued as citizens with rights.
The call to action
The inhabitants have lost faith in empty promises. “We no longer want speeches, we want actions,” says a neighbor, emphasizing the need for a real answer to a situation that has become unsustainable. Its hope is that this time the authorities take note and act before it is too late.
Looking to the future
With the gaze on a better tomorrow, the neighbors of Cologne Simón hope that their reality will change. Do not want to be forgotten or ignored; They just want their voices to be heard and that their needs are met. The neighborhood exists and, with it, the hopes of the people who live there.
