(E-Notícies) The Ripoll City Council, a town governed by Sílvia Orriols (Aliança Catalana), has temporarily closed a Maghrebi café in the municipality accused of banning women from entering. According to E-Notícies, it all started from a police inspection last Tuesday, during which several serious violations were detected, in addition to severe hygiene problems.
The women’s bathroom was locked and unusable, expired fire extinguishers, lack of insurance, severe unsanitary conditions, undocumented immigrants … This is the situation police officers found during an inspection last Tuesday at Cafetería Esperanza, a Maghrebi establishment located in Ripoll that, as you can see in the image, even has its entrance sign in Arabic.
In addition to all these violations, several testimonies report that this establishment has banned women from entering (hence the women’s bathroom was not operational and locked).
