The Platform for People Affected by Mortgage (PAH) has celebrated the “slight respite” that the Court of Instruction number 8 of Murcia has given to María Dolores Espinosa, the neighbor who had an order yesterday to leave the apartment she has been squatting for four years in Pintor Velázquez Street, in Alcantarilla, which is owned by a vulture fund.
In principle, the PAH does not dare to claim victory because the margin that the Court has given them is two days until the appeal presented by María Dolores Espinosa is resolved. To this end, time has been given for the Prosecutor's Office and the vulture fund to respond.
“The question we have is whether the judge is going to go ahead with the eviction or allow the family to present a certificate of vulnerability issued by Social Services,” says Francisco Morote, of the PAH. This guarantee would force the eviction to stop, as has happened with other people in a similar situation.
“With the work of the public defender and social pressure we have achieved this suspension, although it remains to be seen whether or not the Court will end up asking the Social Services for the vulnerability report, as other Courts do,” Morote insisted.
María Dolores Espinosa has two children, a two-year-old grandson and is unemployed. She is willing to pay a social rent, but with the help of 700 euros that she receives she cannot afford market prices. Her husband will be released from prison in December.
