Congress has taken a first step on Tuesday to process a law that Accelerate the evictions and evictions of Okupas within 48 hours. The lower house has given the green light to the taking into consideration of a proposition presented by Junts to which they have added their supports PSOE and PP. Popular and socialists agree to recognize their concern for the illegal housing squatting. Those of Pedro Sánchez remember that purple raid is already a crime, although they consider that the legal system is “susceptible to improvement.” To his left, his usual partners insist that it is a minority problem fed by alarmist speeches.
The initiative to which Congress has given the initial approval states that the procedures to evict illegally outdated real estate are not “sufficiently effective or sufficiently fast.” Therefore, it aims to reform the criminal prosecution law to expand precautionary measures in the event of a complaint and guarantee the recovery of housing in a maximum of 48 hours, “preventing delaations” when situations of vulnerability are alleged. “The indiscriminate application of this protection has become a tool that can be used to unfairly delay processes,” argues the text driven by JUNTS.
“It is necessary to prevent the protection of vulnerability from falling on the holders of real estate,” the deputy of Juns Marta Madreas, who has emphasized the need to preserve the right to private property and has recognized that most illegal squatters do not occur on usual homes has stressed in the parliamentary debate. Puigdemont’s admit that it has been created a “citizen alarm” that does not correspond to realitybut they believe that the “extreme left” and the “legal and judicial permissive response” have contributed to proliferating the offices and that this phenomenon has become A “serious” problem that link with crime and consider that it generates coexistence problems.
In addition to Junts, the proposal of Puigdemont has had the favorable vote of PP, PSOE, PNV, Canarian coalition and Vox. Socialists have defended that it is an initiative to “preserve” the right to private property. “The Spanish legal system has sufficient mechanisms to pursue the badly called illegal occupation. However, this Legal Framework is evidently susceptible to improvement “said the socialist deputy Guillermo Hita, who has stressed the need for not “undermine” the protection of especially vulnerable groups and has clarified that the hardening of evictions does not solve on their own the problem of housing.
The PP has said to share the concern for the squatting, although it has recalled that they have already promoted their own antiokupation law and has denounced that it is “frozen” by the Socialists in Congress. “We could have already ended with illegal offices, because we could already have a law in force We don’t have because Sánchez and Armengol have decided to block it. They do not mind turning Spain into a country where an Okupa has greater protection than the one to be stolen from their home, “said Deputy Cristina Agüera, who has defended that the initiative of the popular is” more complete “than that of Junts.
He has also supported the proposition of the law has been the PNV, which has highlighted the need to “improve the protection of citizens in the possession and enjoyment of their properties” and address the “damages that this phenomenon can cause to the neighbors”, although it has recognized that 16,500 complaints per year are barely interposed and has asked not to “disregard” the situations of vulnerability. “The current legal system does not have an agile and efficient response to recover housing”Deputy Mikel Legarda assured. However, Basque nationalists have stressed that the debate around the squatting cannot be an “excuse” to accuse the government of “criminal management” or “complicity” with the squatters or to encourage a xenophobic discourse.
Vox has linked precisely the squatting and immigration and has accused the government of “protecting crime.” According to those of Abascal, “the comparsa of foreign, Islamist and anti -fascist kupas takes over not only the houses but of the streets.” “We are not facing a timely occupation of public spaces, but constant of people who impose their worlds in our worlds. There are postal codes completely occupied by mass immigration,” said deputy Carlos Hernández, who has assured that “There are areas where you have not only to hurry homes, but whole neighborhoods.”
“A permanent will to generate fear”
At the opposite end of the parliamentary arch, the PSOE left formations have planted the Juns initiative, considering that it is an attempt to generate alarmism against A minority problem that affects just 0.06% from the Spanish housing park, which touches the 27 million properties throughout the country. According to data from the Ministry of Interior, in 2024 16,426 complaints of this type were registered, 7.4% more than in 2023.
Add, ERC and Bildu remember that The usurpation and the search of abode are already collected Currently in the legal system and reproach those of Puigdemont who intend to equate both crimes and give the same treatment to the cases in which an empty house is Okupe as an inhabit. “The illegal out of hall of harass is somewhat rejectable, but there are already laws against the raid of abode,” said the deputy of adding Gerardo Pisarello, who has branded “class” and “racist” the debate around the squatting.
“The law already contemplates that if you enter home you can take them out in 48 hours, the problem is that justice does not work, because it is collapsed,” added the Republican deputy Etna Estrems, who has described the proposal of Junks as a “distraction maneuver” of the housing problem. “What is behind this initiative is a permanent will to generate a state of fear, anxiety and fear In the population around the possibility of leaving for bread and they okupen the house, “said Bildu Oskar Matute deputy.
