The People’s Party will propose reducing the “forced” eviction of people who have illegally occupied a property to a maximum period of 48 hours, through a modification of the legal framework. Those of Alberto Núñez Feijóo are preparing the registration of their housing law, which includes a profound plan against squat. The text requires eviction from housing within 24 hours, voluntarily as soon as the authority requires it, the rule will empower “agents of public authority” to carry out “immediate” eviction by force. . This is not the only measure, the people propose a reform of article 269 of the Penal Code to prevent the squatters can register in the house searched. “There are 17,000 crimes linked to squat“, warn PP sources, who accuse the government of neglecting housing policy.
The measures are not new. Genoa has already developed a plan against the illegal occupation which it presented to the Senate last February, as part of a bill. The initiative was taken into consideration thanks to the majority that Feijóo’s supporters have in the Upper House, but it continues. The text suggests a battery of modifications to the Penal Code. It demands that the occupation be punished by up to three years in prison, depending on the “profit obtained and the damage caused”. It deploys a reform of the Code of Criminal Procedure to include in rapid prosecution the offenses of violation of the Penal Code and those of usurpation. It also outlines another change to the jury court law aimed at eliminating the possibility that a popular jury – made up of citizens – could try trespass cases.
