The spokesman of the Municipal Citizens Group, Manuel Padín, and the Cs member in the Neighborhood Board of La Palma, José Luis Sánchez, visited yesterday afternoon these abandoned houses, which have sometimes been rented in an irregular manner by the mafias that traffic with empty flats, 'squatted' temporarily and where even 'botelleos' are made.
According to Manuel Padín, "you have to see it to believe it, this is dantesque, I do not understand how something that costs so much money to raise and do ends up in these conditions, but the problem is not that but the damage that is being caused to the neighbors around , and adjoining public spaces such as the square and the children's parking lot that is only two meters away from this embarrassment. "
"There is no right to the neighbors have to live with this filth, with these buildings full of garden prunings and garbage with the consequent danger of fire (there was one a few weeks ago), these homes are real dumps that on the other I do not understand how in times of passivity and inaction of owners (presumably a bank for what we know) give rise to this and it is a pity that justice is not as agile as it should be because lack of means, "said the orange training spokesman.
From Ciudadanos, has also announced that if the next ordinary plenary session has not solved the problem, will take an initiative to the plenary to get it.
"The area in which this disaster is located is a marvel, and with an extraordinary people who do not deserve this," says Manuel Padin who adds: "without forgetting that here there is also a problem of vandalism and an absolute lack of civic awareness part of some that we have to tackle by other means. "
Ombudsman
As denounced by the Ombudsman in other analogous situations, among the problems facing the neighbors of the 'squatters' are the problems of unhealthiness due to the accumulation of garbage, the deterioration of common elements as a consequence of vandalism , noise nuisance and even economic damage since the buildings have general meters in the lead for water and electricity supplies so the neighbors who reside legally must assume the total cost so they do not cut the service.
