A conflict that does not cease
Vox’s recent proposal to evict the squatters of the Casino d’Albarrosa has ignited the spirits in Parliament, revealing the deep divisions between the different political groups. The neighbors of Viladecans have witnessed unsustainable situations, including threats and violent acts by the occupants who have turned their daily lives into a real ordeal.
The voice of the neighbors: a desperate call
Vox has presented his initiative as an urgent response to the complaints of residents, who have been suffering theft and intimidation for years. The Casino d’Albarrosa, a historic space for the community, has been occupied on multiple occasions, and has recently been taken by a group with criminal background that have aggravated the situation.
A hostile environment
Neighborhood allegations have described an atmosphere of fear, with violent incidents that include aggression with forceful objects and even shots against their homes. The feeling of abandonment by the authorities has intensified, leaving the citizens with the impression that their safety is not a priority.
Divergent Political Answers
The debate in Parliament has highlighted the different perspectives on occupation. Together he described this phenomenon as an attack on private property and emphasized the negative effects it generates on coexistence. They have promised a legal offensive to recover the occupied homes, but have disagreed with Vox’s proposals.
Alternatives to the confrontation
ERC has argued that immediate eviction will not solve underlying problems and it is essential to seek more inclusive solutions that address the needs of both neighbors and squatters. The CUP added that the properties managed by the SAREB should be used for social housing, emphasizing the importance of community action.
The reaction of the PP and other parties
The PP has severely criticized the situation, alerting to the risks of the Okupation for the Community. They have reminded that there are legal mechanisms to act against the squatters, but they have regretted that they are not used properly. The commons, on the other hand, have argued that the Mossos d’Esquadra cannot act as eviction agents without a court order.
With respect to institutions
The PSC has urged Vox to respect the rule of law, warning that simplistic solutions only encourage distrust of institutions. Member Judith Alcalá emphasized that police forces work to ensure security and that current legislation protects the rights of occupants.
Final Reflections on Debate
The situation in Viladecans is an example of how the complexity of occupation can generate tensions between the need for the security of the neighbors and the rights of the individuals who occupy the real estate. The solution will require a balanced approach that seeks coexistence and mutual respect, as well as an active involvement of institutions to resolve the conflict.
