The 48 families that reside as squatters in the Tabaiba building in San Isidro have spent 40 days without having water in the houses, as the access doors to the roof terrace where they have the deposits that they have been assembling are sealed, since the building lacks a certificate of occupancy to have running water, as well as electricity, which they obtain thanks to photovoltaic panels .
That seal was placed on May 4 by employees of the company Desokupawho came expressly from the Peninsula, with the aim of kicking the residents out of those homes, which, in some cases, they have been occupying for almost ten years.
While those 48 families continue to resist based on jugs that they fill from a small vat -which is no longer going-, the trials for “usurpation” continue in Court Number 3 of Granadilla, after the first seven were favorable to the families. denounced, for demonstrating their state of vulnerability and not being able to prove the denouncer’s ownership of the building. Yesterday four were held and one was archived.
While all this is happening, the affected families are waiting for the City Council to send an expert to validate the water drums and, in addition, to comply with the plenary agreement of the Cabildo to acquire the building to use it for social rent.
