As they had announced from the Camping for a decent home, yesterday afternoon they began to vacate the Plaza de la Candelaria in Santa Cruz to move back to the headquarters of the Presidency of the Government of the Canary Islands in Santa Cruz. After five in the afternoon, the protesters began to dismantle the camp that has been on the street for more than 160 days, demanding measures to alleviate the lack of housing in the Islands. The transfer took place without any type of incident and today the camping booths can already be seen in front of the Presidency bunker, right where they began their protest.
From the Camping they explained this Monday that the decision to move is made because some progress has been made in the commitments made by the Santa Cruz City Council, not by the rest of the administrations. “We value what has been achieved so far, but the general housing situation in the Canary Islands continues to be just as bad, or even worse, and after so many months, so many meetings and so many proposals, the Government of the Canary Islands still does not assume its responsibility, it still does not legislate , without acting, without passing the laws necessary to access housing, without controlling the mafias, without facing the vulture funds, without limiting the vacation rental “, they pointed out.
A transfer that has also been affected by the decision of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands (TSJC) that rejected that their fundamental rights were being violated before the eviction order issued by the area that is in charge of managing the occupation of the public road, lacking authorization to camp.
