Surely these days you will have heard in the news that hundreds of families are being evicted for not being able to pay their mortgages to the point that there are people who decide to take their lives, as happened a few days ago in Barakaldo, where a woman, known for having He was a councilor of the PSE-EE, decided to jump from the balcony of his house at the time that a judicial commission arrived to carry out the eviction.
This case, I imagine that being a more or less known person, caused the evictions to be temporarily stopped and the government to consider some things, such as preventing the most defenseless people from being totally unprotected. Come on, you have decided that families with dependent dependents and with young or large children cannot be evicted. It is good news, although it has nuances, too many, because if your son is 4 years old, oranges from China.
Only for children under three years or large families
As our colleagues from The Blog Salmon inform us, in addition to having limits at the economic level (maximum income, that the mortgage supposes more than 50% of the net income, that the parents are unemployed and without benefit, etc.) , the protection measure against evictions It will only be effective when the child is under three years old or if the family is large or single-parent with two children.
Come on, if we set an example for a couple with two six and four year old children who are having fun, there will be no reason not to evict them.
Only for two years
But beware, protection against eviction is not forever, but only for two years. If after two years the situation has not changed, the eviction may be carried out without a possible moratorium (unless at that time, within two years, the law changes in another direction).
Debate there for a while
It is clear that this much-needed measure generates debate because although it provisionally protects the little ones, it does not leave them fully defended. If a child is already 4 years old and his parents are in a difficult situation, despite not being guilty of any of the situation we are living, it is automatically doomed to extreme poverty, because not only do they take away from your parents the flat on which you live, but they still owe the debt they once acquired when they bought it (when the logical thing would be for the debt to be paid off).
The Spanish constitution says that we all have the right to decent housing, but as we can see the government forgets the constitution for things like these, so important for the entire population, and remembers it and almost kisses it when voices of independence in Catalonia. This is really unfortunate because thousands of young children are being condemned to live badly and badly.
In the CAP where I work we are seeing, for years, that many children do not have breakfast, that they go to school without trying a snack, for lack of habit, to go out shotguns or because at night they eat a lot, arriving to spend many hours from They have dinner until they eat something in the middle of the morning.
We were about to make an intervention in the schools to try to raise awareness of the parents of the importance of having breakfast before going to school when we find that many children now do not have breakfast because they directly have nothing to put in their mouths, making only one meal a day, that of noon.
Luckily for these children, in these schools they are allocating part of their budget to buy fruit, milk and cookies and, each morning, they will look for the children to class and they take them out for a while to have breakfast. However, this is nothing more than a patch, a temporary solution, because I don't think they can always give them breakfast and because it is possible that this will get worse and worse.
I do not know what world we live in, but I am increasingly tired of seeing how our taxes, which should have an impact on a greater state of well-being, have been destined to save banks that then still have the holy balls the courage to go out of their Houses to the people.
I don't know what the solution is, but it is clear that evicting a family and leaving them on the street with a debt that they can never pay and making our children miserable people cannot be a good thing.
Then politicians are still able to blame us by saying that we have lived beyond our means and that is why we are in crisis. And for more INRI, they say that to overcome the economy, consumption must be encouraged.
