Camp Nou reconstruction under scrutiny

The reconstruction of Camp Nou has been under intense scrutiny in recent weeks due to allegations of illegal working conditions for the laborers involved. Barcelona has denied any knowledge of these claims, but a recent investigation by El Periodico has brought the issue to light.

One of the firms subcontracted for the construction has defended the working conditions, stating that they adhere to safety standards. However, there have been reports of difficulty in contacting the subcontracted companies, with some sources claiming that the situation is no different from other projects.

The construction firm, Limak, has also come under fire for previous complaints about abusive working practices. Despite this, they have defended their reputation and stated that their employees adhere to the Barcelona collective agreement.

Contradictory reports have emerged, including fines for noise pollution and complaints about work extending beyond regular hours. Protesters have also voiced their displeasure with Limak’s practices earlier this year. These issues have overshadowed the renovation work at Camp Nou and raised concerns about the treatment of workers involved in the project.
