Stop Evictions denounces that it is the most serious case in the State since six of those affected are people with disabilities and decide to camp in the Plaza de España ‘llucmajorera’ until an “alternative” is achieved
This Thursday is the sixth launch date that has ended with an eviction carried out through the use of force by the Civil Guard and with a minor injury. “The scene has been horrible, Dantesque.” That’s how he described it Joan Segura from the Stop Evictions platform who has reported that that of Llucmajor is “the most serious case of eviction in the entire State”. In addition to harshly criticizing the passivity of the administrations, Segura has said that the affected family consists of ten people who belong to several family units. Six of them are people with disabilities, five are middle-aged and their degree of recognized disability fluctuates between 65 and 95%, while there is one minor with 36% disability. He also added that between all of them they have about 20 chronic diseases and lamented that throughout these almost 4 years of struggle, the Santiago Moreno family has lost three of their relatives.
“It is necessary that the situation of this family is known”, has spread the platform that has regretted that the Santiago Moreno have been left with no alternative. On a rainy day they are out on the street. Thus, They have gone to seek refuge in the town hall of Llucmajor, from where they have been evicted by the security forces. Given this situation, the platform has decided to camp in the Plaza de España in Llucmajor. For this reason, it makes a call to the citizens to contribute pallets and mattresses. “The family urgently needs an alternative. As a group we will prioritize the sickest, we cannot accommodate ten people and they will stay under the pergola until an alternative is found,” they warn. “We hold the City Council responsible for the abandonment of social services and we ask that the sports center be opened,” the platform claimed this afternoon.
The entity says that the eviction is promoted by Abanca, the former Nova Caixa Galicia, “rescued by the State and given to an international banker & rdquor ;. “The court of first instance number 13 of Palma insists on eviction without even assessing the measures that the administration could take and without weighing up the consequences at any time & rdquor ;, they maintain from Stop Evictions that recall that “the resolution of the ESCR committee of the UN 166 /2019 is fully binding for the Spanish State & rdquor ;. Said resolution requests the State to suspend the launch or offer an alternative. “The Supreme Court recognizes that the convictions are binding and mandatory for the Spanish State. And without a doubt, the resolutions of precautionary measures are also, given that they were accepted by the State when it signed the treaties and their protocols & rdquor ;, they maintain.
“The IBAVI still does not offer an alternative & rdquor ;, the platform lamented this morning, recalling that “the family submitted separate housing applications because there were too many for a single home. Until the end of 2021 they had a low score & rdquor ;, she adds. As for the Llucmajor city council, they criticize from Stop Evictions, “it seems to be unable or to have no will to receive the families to make a report before the court & rdquor ;.
“IBAVI has attended this family on different occasions, that they have been given the necessary support to be able to register correctly in the Register of Protected Housing Claimants. In fact, they appear on the vacant housing award lists but not with a sufficient score to be able to access a flat at the moment since there are families with higher scores on our lists. Now, given their emergency situation, the day before yesterday they were treated by our social worker who referred them to IMAS given that this entity has assigned IBAVI homes to be able to attend to emergency situations & rdquor ;, they defend from the Government’s Housing Department. A few words that this afternoon have been harshly criticized by the platform because, it clarifies, “they are a temporary access of six months” and that it is about homes that are saturated. “In fact, the IMAS has not responded,” says the platform that maintains that “the IBAVI made a report that it delivered to the court but that it did not notify the family” and that it was “important for the decision to proceed with the eviction”. With this situation described, Stop Evictions demands an “alternative” from both the Government and to City Hall.
