Activists block Spanish bank entrances

Spanish activists have blocked the entrance to a dozen of branches of a bank, which they accuse of not doing enough to prevent mortgage holders from losing their homes.

According to AP, chanting slogans against evictions, the protesters prevented clients from entering the branches of Banco Popular bank in the center of Barcelona on Wednesday.

The demonstrators argued that Spain’s fifth-largest bank has shown very little will to renegotiate the terms of mortgages held by customers who have hit hard times.

The activists also vowed to continue their protests until the bank finds a solution for 13 urgent cases.
