The Sort town council has publicly condemned a series of recent vandalism incidents across the municipality, which have targeted public facilities and infrastructure over the past week.
Last week, intruders forced open emergency doors at the municipal sports centre and smashed several windows. The council has filed complaints with the Mossos d'Esquadra over the break-in. These acts are not isolated: authorities report ongoing damage to traffic signs, litter bins, and other street furniture in recent days.
This week, vandals graffitied the signpost at the Alt d'Enviny pass and destroyed a nativity scene installed in a public space.
In a statement, the council expressed "our utmost repulsion" at the behaviour, which not only damages shared public property but also shows a profound lack of respect for community coexistence and the people of Sort.
Officials plan to assess the full economic cost of the damage and inform residents, stressing that such "reckless acts" strain the municipality's already limited finances.
