I follow closely the debates in Spain examines the dimensions of crisis and the factors that cause it. I show interest in the measures proposed to address it. I get lost in the diagnoses, warnings and calls for attention. I attend to the five senses statements from the authorities and the opposition are made on the subject. peered into the scheme provided by the Government a list of laws that are covered until the end of the term, in order to show the willingness to tackle important issues. I read carefully, In short, the outcome of the talks by Mr. Rodríguez Zapatero, and his deputies, with the cream of English business. I look at myself how only four of 37 (Anfac, Grifols, Inditex and C. Mondragón) belong to the industrial activity, namely that creates innovation, employment, value added, export, while dominated by financial groups, builders, energy and tourism. Companies that obtain the most substantial part of their profits abroad. Concern picture in a country that has been de-industrializing , justifying the absence from the meeting of heads of ministries Industry and Science and Technology. Does not it surprise you too?
I think, in short, know almost everything, or at least try, what the media say about the major global problems currently affecting the country. In this country, mired in confusion, frightened and submissive. And yet, none appear, nor any involvement in discussions with large companies, they say nothing, absolutely nothing, a social and economic reality has become a tragedy of enormous scale. Nothing is spoken in these forums where major decisions are brewing problem that is the million citizens affected by the risk of eviction from their homes as a result of the inability to meet their mortgage debts.
citizens are forgotten, left to their fate, despite being legion. More than 230,000 eviction cases have taken place in Spain since mid-2008. The problem affects most of those who plunged into the maelstrom irrational mortgage lending in the past five years , attracted by low interest rates, the attractiveness of access to homeownership under proliferation also induced by property and banks that were willing to support with your credit riskier operations, involving them to the guarantors of the applicants to set up a web tupidísima in that he was arrested, almost a lifetime, an important sector of English youth and immigrants arrived to the lure of supposedly secure employment.
that shed has collapsed and the bursting of the bubble has befallen a human tragedy of colossal proportions. People lose their homes without remedy or palliative, but will not involve the cancellation of debt, since mortgage commitment up until its final redemption. And is that the procedure foreclosed on the delivery of housing implies the elimination of debt, does not apply in Spain. debt does not disappear with the surrender of property, it also loses value it had in the time of purchase, you so the debt held frequently exceeds the appraised value of the home. This explains the tragic situation in which they operate many young people, and not so young, who have had to seek refuge in the family, while the insoluble problem is shown in the case of immigrants affected by the same situation, without, however , the receipt of the host family and protect it. Hence his desperation, and protests of their governments, as Ecuador has done forcefully. There has been, in both cases, terrible situations, which are in everyone's mind. What could be more terrible in the life of a person, a family, that the homeless to stay without reference in the fucking street?
More of this subject hardly speaks in the media and, more seriously, is ignored in the areas of decision that could introduce measures that contained the severity of problem. A word of recognition of their tragedy also be relevant. The United States has very strong protests against the evictions, which have achieved important successes, and even the federal government has set up a helpline for those affected by the insolvency and where in any case, repayment of housing frees Bank the load. In Spain the situation arises to the resigned attitude of every man for himself. There has been collective reactions against the phenomenon that comment. Just solidarity isolated, irritated hands on his face, an insult to another and looks to the ground.
However, there are always spaces of encounter and solidarity to those who qualify. Why not to use the Red Active Solidarity against Evictions, which was created in Spain?
