That is the question from Susana, a resident of the Rafal neighborhood, regarding the offer made by the fund that is now demanding she leave her home. "To them, 6,000 euros is nothing, and they offer us this in exchange for our home, as if we could do anything with that amount," she criticizes. The amount is not even enough to find a decent alternative housing option. Now, she and her partner are facing a judicial proceeding that has been dragging on for years and has changed actors with the successive sales of the property.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Pilar López is the evicted woman who burst into Parliament last Tuesday, October 6th, to let President Prohens know in person that she felt disappointed and abandoned (those are the words she used): having voted for the PP had not served to prevent her from losing the home where she had lived for the last 15 years, after having contributed for 40 years and having worked mainly in the hospitality industry, as a room maid. She had already gone, days earlier, to the Palma City Council plenary session to make her protest heard. Pilar López spent the recent and monstrous summer living inside her car, the only space that separated her from sleeping rough. She is—like Maricarmen, who died this week, like Olga and Javier, two residents of L'Hospitalet de Llobregat who have committed suicide—a victim of greed, speculation, and an out-of-control market that sees housing as a commodity that provides easy and abundant money. It is not: housing—let us insist on it as much as necessary—is a basic right and also a constitutional right, and for that very reason, it is superior to the right to property or the law of supply and demand.</p>]]></description>

According to Stop Evictions Mallorca, the new state regulation approved by Pedro Sánchez's government this week, which Vox, the PP, and Junts overturned in a debate in Congress that will go down in political history, was one of the legal arguments taken into account.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>The appearance on screens of some faces of victims of real estate speculation has caused, at the very least, discomfort and the desire to formulate some type of response, both on the part of society and the political class. Everyone has heard of the case of Maricarmen, an eighty-seven-year-old woman from Madrid, who suffers from poor health and economic precariousness, and who has been evicted from the apartment where she had lived for more than seventy years. There was also another brutal and disproportionate action by the Police, who charged against the protesters who were demonstrating for Maricarmen's eviction with a brutality that recalled the one they exhibited in Palma on July 27th, at the end of the massive demonstration called by the Platform Less Tourism Less Life. Mobilizing in favor of the right to housing or to demand the rationalization of the tourism sector is not prohibited for the moment, but it is greeted, from the outset, with baton blows by unworthy police officers who beat up citizens who are exercising another fundamental right, that of demonstration. Afterwards, if they find themselves in the position of having to give any type of explanation, this terrible Police force resorts to a cowardly and lying victimhood, according to which they had allegedly 'defended' themselves from supposed 'threats' from the protesters.In Catalonia, in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, the death of Olga, a 54-year-old woman with two daughters, one of them a minor, who could not bear to lose her home and committed suicide, has come to light. And here we have seen the face of Pilar López Cabrera, a 65-year-old woman who explained at the Palma City Council plenary session, through tears, that after losing the home where she lived – on Joan Crespí street in the city – and having contributed for forty years as a hospitality worker, she has been left on the street and has had to spend this last summer sleeping in her car, showering at the Ciutat Jardí showers and having to take care of personal hygiene in hidden places in large shopping centers. <a href="https://en.arabalears.cat/society/pilar-between-tears-have-contributed-for-40-years-and-now-sleep-in-the-car_1_5859481.html" target="_blank">You can read about it in Héctor Rubio's chronicle in ARA Balears</a>. These are not extreme cases, but rather much more common than they might seem in our environment. To some, they may seem like marginal characters, but they are people as central as anyone else could be. No one is marginal; the margins are simply the spaces of injustice and existential torture that our economic model reserves for those who cannot cope – with money – with the pressure of speculators.Pilar Gómez Cabrera insisted on emphasizing that she is “Spanish”, assuming that her nationality, the fact of having been born in Spain, should protect her from injustice. Maricarmen and Olga also are or were Spanish. Faced with vulture funds and unbridled capitalism, however, nationalities are worth nothing: without money to pay the prices of speculation, we all become ‘immigrants’, because we are all reduced to the condition of being poor. And this thing we call ‘economic system or model’, which is nothing more than the law of the strongest and the one with the fewest scruples, swallows, chews, and spits out the poor. The first thing to understand is that we are all exposed to it. And at the same time –we must insist on it as much as necessary– that the right to decent housing is a constitutional right, and as such it must prevail over the right to property and the free market. Naturally, it is necessary to legislate to prevent vulture funds from continuing to trade with people's lives and basic rights. And naturally, it is necessary to restrict the purchase of housing by companies and foreign investors. In fact, it is urgent.</p>]]></description>

      <link><![CDATA[https://en.arabalears.cat/opinion/beyond-maricarmen_129_5862112.html]]></link>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>The eviction of Maricarmen in Madrid is the symptom of a chronic illness. The ecosystem that allows housing to be treated as a simple financial asset began to be built with the land liberalization of the Aznar era and was fed after the 2008 collapse, when the pre-sales to the banks facilitated the sale of thousands of homes and real estate assets to vulture funds. Neither the intense but ephemeral indignation over the case—erected as a symbol—of an 87-year-old woman in a wheelchair thrown onto the street will manage to change the course of speculative inertia.</p>]]></description>

The camp is located between the fairgrounds and the first ring road of Eivissa, just a 20-minute walk from the city center. In recent weeks, the Police have visited all the tents in the settlement and have delivered the notice to the inhabitants, one by one: on the 21st, at 10 in the morning, “the entry and dismantling of the settlement is planned, prior to the eviction of its occupants”. The mayor of Eivissa, the popular Rafa Triguero, has spoken forcefully about ‘illegal’ settlements in recent weeks; the word ‘firmness’ has been heard on several occasions. </p>]]></description>

The legal proceedings, known as the Barraquer case, were resolved with a plea agreement that avoided a trial. The charge was resisting authority. The demonstration was organized by the Palma Housing Union (SHP), whose members displayed a banner with the slogan "Repression will only make us stronger" and chanted slogans such as "No people without homes, no homes without people." </p>]]></description>

The eviction was set for 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, but the judicial commission, which had arrived at the woman's home—she has a 41% disability and now has ten days to file an appeal—halted the eviction. In the statement submitted to a court in Inca, the woman argues a lack of standing, since the eviction request was filed by a bank, although the property is registered in the name of an individual. The woman also points to her disability, as she had applied for legal aid, which was denied because the fact that she is currently in the process of separating, although she is listed as married, was not taken into account. The victim has also filed a complaint alleging she may have been scammed in the rental of the property, where she moved in last December. </p>]]></description>
