- "We have been hoarse to denounce a situation that has spread throughout the municipality thanks to the abandonment of functions and the cowardice of PP, PSOE and MC," says the spokesman for the liberal training.
Cartagena, Friday, March 15.
The spokesman of Cs Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has assured today that if Citizens manages to reach the Government of Cartagena will launch in 2019 the Plan for the Protection of Coexistence and Neighborhood Security against the illegal occupation that he proposed a year ago in the Plenary without get support from PSOE, Podemos, PP and MC, "if we have a sufficient majority we will do it, if we are part of a coalition or directly or indirectly another party asks us for their support we will impose it, in any possible scenario after 26M, if Cs is decisive, we will fight to achieve a healthy coexistence and end narcophones and mafias, "the Liberal spokesman has warned.
"For more than three years we have been denouncing a situation that has spread throughout the municipality due to the abandonment of functions and the cowardice of PP, PSOE and MC", Manuel Padín denounced, referring to the information published today by the La Verdad newspaper, "legal tenants had to move pressured and frightened by some of the people who came to live without authorization and with illegal habits and livelihoods, despite their efforts, the complaints of our neighbors did not find the weight of evidence or the judicial support that was required so that the police could act with forcefulness ".
Precisely, the plan that wants to implement liberal training includes an Office for the Defense of the Rights of Neighbors Affected by Illegal Occupation, as the body in charge of ensuring security and neighborhood coexistence.
This office would have a monitoring unit against illegal occupations to coordinate surveillance actions and instruct the administrative files that accredit the facts contrary to the ordinances in terms of coexistence and citizen protection.
"In this way we centralize the information, we advise those who are suffering this trance, and we consolidate the evidence for the relevant judicial processes protecting at all times the identity of the complainants so that they can do it without fear of reprisals", explains Manuel Padín.
False and "miserable" criticisms
The liberal spokesman has charged with virulence against those who criticize the plan of Citizens ensuring that it does not take into account families in need, "those who say that or have not read our plan or are miserables who play politically with the pain of the In addition, our proposal clearly indicates that the City Council must develop a quantitative and qualitative occupied housing census, identifying the type of occupation, clearly differentiating mafia, criminal and violent occupations from those that are carried out for reasons of necessity ".
"Not a single family with problems will be left unprotected with a liberal government, on the contrary, it will be taken care of by Social Services while it is needed", says Manuel Padín.
Citizens warns that the situation does not only occur in the streets San Vicente and Serreta, "we have spent more than three years hoarse denouncing the situation in other areas of the Historic Center, in La Palma, Las Seiscientas, Barrio Peral, Pozo Estrecho, La Aljorra, La Azohía, El Portús or Los Nietos, with drug gambling dens in between, among many other black spots. "
At the national level
In the Congress, Ciudadanos presented a Proposed Law to speed up the evictions of illegally occupied homes and to toughen penalties when the occupation has been carried out in a violent manner.
This Citizens Law aims to stop situations of extreme gravity in which not only the owners of the buildings are involved, but the whole community of neighbors who see the coexistence in neighborhoods where these situations occur.
The national proposal of Cs has three objectives: End the illegal occupation, better protect the owners and neighbors, and eradicate the mafias that in many cases are behind these occupations.
With the Law of Cs the community of neighbors of the property can take the initiative to file a complaint that causes the eviction.
This would give rise to quick trials so that the judicial process is not perpetuated.
The ultimate goal is to defend the rights of the owners so they can recover their home within a reasonable period of time.
Citizens, in addition, want that in cases of violent occupation the penalties harden.
