Jesús and María have a daughter with an undiagnosed illness, already with a 63% recognized disability. She, who lives Rivas-Vaciamadridneeded help and care, so the couple decided to sell the apartment they lived in and … buy a property nearby. After months of researching and visiting possible residences, they settled on a semi-detached house which, although “in a state of disrepair”, suited them for the price, and they decided to buy it. What was their surprise when, upon visiting the property for the first time as owners, they discovered that was crouching.
This is how they told their story to Joaquín Prat in ‘Just the right time» (Telecinco), which exploded upon learning the details of this family’s history. “In a serious country, in a real democracy, in a rule of law, you call the state security forces and agencies, you show them the deed to your house and the gentlemen who are inside, kick your ass in and out. But no, we don’t have that chance here,” he said. And what Mary and Jesus said left the audience speechless.
When they first tried to access the house, the response they gave was: “It’s my father’s house, I don’t know anything but I can’t get out.” In other words, it seems that the one who was squat The property belonged to the family of the person who previously purchased it. He refused to leave and after going there several times, they found similar chapters. This is why they decided to turn to an intermediation company. This helps them legally, “in a good way,” but they still don’t get an answer.
“8,000 euros to leave my house”
During these months of coming and going, the family fell into despair. María seemed saddened to see this. “We even offered them money. We started with 3,000 euros, then we went to 5,000 and finally I was able to tell them that I would give them 8,000 euros if they leave the propertyIt was after these refusals that they thought of turning to intermediaries to give them a helping hand. They are there right now, devastated by the lack of resources to deal with these squatters: “The police no longer pay attention to us, because we know they can’t do anything about it, they are tied hand and foot.”
