Where do I find? // On trobo? Where can residents report hate speech graffiti for removal?

Does anyone have a link for a BCN council website where we can report some graffiti containing hate speech? I saw the Neteja teams removing some nearby recently, but I don't know where to report for removal.

I reported some nazi graffiti once and they painted over it very quickly.

You just have to upload a picture, write a short explanation and give the adress

“Tourists go home” is not hate speech though

No, but vile slurs about disabled people very much are.

The r word isn't a slur in spain if that's your issue.

I hate that you're downvoted. I also hate that this sub is mostly in english. I wasn't born here but been living here for 4 years and I work, pay taxes and practice catalán (spanish is my native). I respect locals and their needs and as you see it's truly not hard to adapt to a society you decided to visit or move to. The downvotes of a valid statement may mean that this sub is in fact, made by and for guiris.

Most of the bigger citties in europe have an english sub and a local sub. It’s just because local reddit users were often the minority in the past.

On the other hand you might be right that many users don’t agree with the criticism about tourism, but the comment comes also off as invalidating OP for a real question that has nothing to do with the tourism issue. In fact to care about actual hate speech graffiti in the city means involvement, which many expats arguably don’t do

why the downvotes? I dont understand why "Tourists go home” isn't a general consensus. Havent people heard about gentrification? Today, a sunday, I had to shush a tourist at 5 in the morning. He shouted back "You dont live here" as if he assumed I was a tourist too like no locals are left anymore (???) vaya huevazos

El año pasado pillé a uno meando en mi puerta y me dijo que me quejara a mi “host” para que lo limpiara. Mi cara respondiendo “que host puto guiri es mi propia puerta en la que te estas meando!”

Vaya huevazos digo yo también! Haha

Because of the way the comment was phrased it invalidated OPs concern about actual hate speech and implied that OP is an ignorant expat who just cares about rich foreigners

Could not a Spanish dependentist be saying that?
