There are seven families that have squatted lagoon houses Out of sheer necessity, and to which Teideagua has now been forced to cut off the water supply to their homes after receiving a complaint from the National Police in this regard, despite the fact that the state moratorium to avoid evictions during the pandemic supposedly prevents these cases.

Everything points to the fact that thanks to the reflections (and the sensitivity, everything must be said) of the City Council of the City of Los Adelantado, through its first deputy mayor, Rubens Ascanio, it seems that there will be a happy ending: If they show the situation of vulnerability, “I am sure that this situation will be fixed quickly in the cases that the social report justifies it,” he explained yesterday on social networks.

This is the story. In the context of Camping for a Dignified Housing that, for 73 days, protests in the main streets of Santa Cruz de Tenerife (first in front of the headquarters of the Presidency of the Government and now in the central Plaza de La Candelaria) are alarming due to the water cut suffered by seven families. Among them is Ana Belén, 49 years old and with two children, 21 and 17 years old, and a granddaughter of just a year and a half. Dolores and her partner also figure in the relationship, with children of 4,7 and 11 years old; as well as José Santiago and his partner, with a three-year-old boy; in addition to Verónica, in whose family there is a baby of just six months.

All of them have run out of water after the cut decreed by Teideagua, whose managing director, Félix Armas, explains that “we never act like this with anyone who tells us Social Services in attention to a vulnerability situation“, But that they have proceeded in such a way, forced by a complaint filed by the owners of the property.

In this regard, the spokesperson for Platform 29-E, Lolo Dorta, replied that it was the community administrator who filed such a complaint, at the same time that he maintained that the relationships in the property between the legitimate owners and these squatters are out of necessity optimal.

Be that as it may, Ascanio’s intervention is as clear as it is efficient and, as has been mentioned, it will be enough to demonstrate the situation of vulnerability to reverse said cuts, for which Teideagua, in the words of Armas, will not pose any type of problem.

Meanwhile, the resistance shown by those who maintain their protest for decent housing in the streets of Santa Cruz de Tenerife is admirable (at least, for the stamina).

Protest

As has been indicated, they have already been camping for more than 70 days in the main streets of the capital of Tenerife, claiming a right that the 1978 Constitution establishes, such as that of decent housing, no matter how much jurists modulate the scope of the constitutional mandate. emanating from article 47: “All Spaniards have the right to enjoy decent and adequate housing. The public authorities will promote the necessary conditions and establish the pertinent norms to make this right effective, regulating the use of the land in accordance with the general interest to prevent speculation. The community will participate in the capital gains generated by the urban action of public entities ”.

As a result of the protest originally initiated in relation to the homes of number 42 of the Subida a El Tablero (within the municipal term of Santa Cruz de Tenerife), the organizers of the same, who have achieved the support of more than 4,000 people to Yesterday, through different groups, they approached the bishop, Bernardo Álvarez, to express himself in this regard.

And, everything points, they do not think to stop until they achieve their objectives.
