War to death by the raised floors in the urbanization of the horrors of the A-2

In numbers 3, 5 and 7 of Lola Flores street nothing is what it seems. The gloomy appearance of the building, ‘adorned’ of graffiti and busted windows contrasts with the apparent calm that reigns in the place. At least of doors outside, where a patrol checkpoint of the Municipal Police closely watches any strange movement. But beyond that, everything remains the same: neighbors with purchase bags that access the only block that resists with some dignity, and young groups that never know if they go or go, if they are there illegally settled or simply come For another type of chores. The same thing does not matter.

In just one year the evil called ‘Hotel’ Okupa (the former Aragon Suites only functioned as an urbanization of rental apartments) has registered two murders, a kidnapping led by one of Sandra Palo’s murderers, the sweet death of a Venezuelan for inhaling the carbon monoxide of the generator he used to warm up, various stabbing between squatters and a war underground for the control of the usurped floors that threatens to take ahead of the little that remains of the enclave.

Without going any further, on Friday, the 28 -year -old Argentine who stabbed his ‘homemade’, a 52 Peruvian, did it allegedly after an argument for the rental price of a room. The anger, which actually began between the victim’s couple and the sub -re -re -lifted by the squatters, resulted in the death of the older and the arrests of the youngest for homicide and the woman due to injuries. None of the three doubted to use white weapons. The alleged murderer fled badly to Provisional Street Iveco, where, given the control that the national and municipal bodies have been carrying out in the perimeter, it was intercepted.

This fact joins the occurred only three days earlier, when eleven people (ten Colombians and one Venezuelan) were arrested for engaging in a massive fight, luckily this time out of two minor injuries. In the posterior requisition, the agents found a kitchen knife, a cutter and a hammer, weapons of different kinds that run like gunpowder between the shadows of a failed urbanization. However, the nearly thirty neighbors who still have the old contracts, and who stopped paying in 2022 after the administrators were erased from the map, remain in permanent contact by WhatsApp to avoid the total conquest of the block.

They are aware that the cases of realizing of shattered floors, which some squatters charge others for usurpar them, are the order of the day. It is not surprising, therefore, that on November 5 a young Salvadoran was beaten at the hands of a Trinitarian group by express desire of one of the supposed bosses of the Okupa business. The reason? The possible negative of the victim to pay to settle on a floor; An extreme that nobody dared to confirm. “What happened is that the Salvadoran occupied the man’s floor and did not want to go, so he called his son, who is one of the trinitarians, and came with his friends and assaulted him,” he then stressed one of the witnesses.

Be that as it may, the truth is that the future of events has turned the old Aragon Suites into a polvorín without few improvement visos. “We have the windows plugged so that it does not enter,” said the most civic residents, convinced that the last bastion of what one day was their home will not take long to fall.
