Finally, despite attempts by social groups and the Canarian Housing Institute, yesterday there was the announced judicial launch of Barbara Concepcion Bello, and her two children under the age of 17 and 14, from the house that she had rented for a year and a half in a building on Calle El Rincón de Güímar.
The launch took place, with the Civil Guard and Local Police present, without resistance from the tenant, because the day before, she had decided, in the face of an anxiety crisis that forced her to go to the Emergency Department, to remove some of her belongings from the property, while yesterday, her children finished collecting that most precious thing, because the arrival of the launch “did not allow us to withdraw everything,” said Barbara, a victim of gender violence, who, after being unemployed due to the pandemic and having no financial resources, had been without financial resources for almost a year. to face the payment of the 600 euros of rent. Here it has not even served the moratorium against eviction of the State Government, as it is a rental between individuals, despite the fact that Güímar Social Services recognizes the “vulnerability” of the family, evicted yesterday.
Now, until she finds a social rental or a steady job, this 50-year-old mother – she met them just yesterday – has moved to La Cuesta to live in an apartment given by the father of her eldest daughter’s boyfriend.
