Paula Parrales, mother of a 12 year old boy, which has been paying 225 euros for rent for eight years, consigned to a Granadilla Court, has managed to have its launch postponed today. In principle, it has been delayed until the 28th of this month at 09:00.
Not even the documentation delivered by Paola, in which she demonstrates the payment to a bank account, in court has prevented the decree of the launch, considering that the house is in the name of a relative of her ex-partner. Neither the lawyer Platform for the Right to Decent Housing Montaña ClaraTamara Conde, nor the mediation of the Canarian Housing Institute, as happened in September, have been able, at least until today, to stop the announcement of the traumatic eviction.
Early today, a group of people showed up at the house to try to prevent the eviction. A prop was even installed to prevent the door of the house from being opened or knocked down.
The release of Paola and her son, postponed
Members of the Civil Guard, in addition to the judicial authority, appeared at the scene, but at no time were they able to access the interior of the home that Paola shared with her little one.
Now, with a new date for the release of Paola and her son, new options will be sought so that both remain “on the street” as she herself has previously revealed.
San Isidro is the population center of Tenerife where this type of situation occurs most and there is an unofficial statistic that speaks of about a thousand squats in several buildings that several construction companies left unfinished when the 2008 crisis broke out. Other residents of Paola are also subject to similar launches due to “fraudulent sales by the promoter to Russians, Italians and unknown companies,” declared Joana, from the Arguayoda-Las Acacias Neighborhood Association.
The Las Acacias building has 66 VPO homes built by Promociones Amojo SL in 2007, until the company went bankrupt years later, reselling the flats despite not being able to do so until 2043, as they were officially protected homes.
Half an hour before the launch was to take place, DIARIO DE AVISOS spoke with her in the kitchen of her home. About twenty residents of the Las Acacias building were accompanying her.
