MADRID, 1 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The PP is going to force a vote this Wednesday in Congress to challenge the PSOE to support that the ‘squatters’ must be evicted within a maximum period of one day compared to the 48 hours that the socialists defend in an amendment to the reform of the Criminal Procedure Law that a few weeks ago unleashed a new confrontation between the two parties that make up the coalition government.
The text registered by the PP is a motion resulting from the interpellation that the first opposition party directed at the beginning of October to the Minister of Justice, Pilar Llop. The processing of the Budgets for 2023 has delayed until this week the debate on the initiative, which will be voted on Wednesday in plenary.
The PP summarizes in the motion its recipes to fight against ‘squatting’ and cites in the first place that the eviction must be carried out in a maximum of 24 hours from the request if the occupants of the property do not prove the legal title that legitimizes their stay in the same.
It also demands that the eviction be immediate in the event of a flagrant crime, that the crime of trespassing be excluded from the jurisdiction of the Jury Court, that the penalties for usurpation be reinforced with up to three years in prison and that legal protection be improved. against the actions of the mafias.
Likewise, the ‘popular’ are committed to considering the registration of an illegal occupant in the municipal register null and void and for prohibiting an occupied property from being considered a dwelling or domicile, so that the occupants do not enjoy the same protection as those who buy or rent a house.
Another of the proposals of the PP is that the communities of owners be legitimized to carry out preventive actions against the occupation and to be able to go to the authorities when in the absence of the owner the occupants carry out prohibited, annoying, unhealthy, harmful or dangerous activities.
Finally, they propose that the amounts of the Real Estate Tax that they have paid during the occupation be returned to the owners and that the occupied property be recorded as the habitual residence (if it was before) so that the owners do not suffer the loss of tax benefits to those who were entitled.
