SPAIN’S POLICE UNIONS ACTION, MAY MEAN AN END TO EVICTIONS

The general secretary of SUP (the police union in Spain) José Manuel Sánchez Fornet, has assured the forces that they will support any policeman, who refuses to take part in any evictions ordered by the courts for the banks. They are also offering to assist the officers with the expenses for any legal cases which may be brought against them for refusal to act out the order, whether or not they are members of the said union.

Any member of the police force, who is a conscientious objector, against the increasing number of ejections, only has to speak up, and he or she will be supported. The secretary added that he hopes that this extraordinary action by the union will assist in putting an end to scenes of despairing families being put out onto the streets.

José Manuel went on to say that though this has been a topic of discussion for a while now. He noted the statements coming out from the European Union that the law in Spain on evictions is flawed, had a strong influence in the final decision.

Obviously swayed by the bad press the government is being subjected to and with the two recent suicides of homeowners, who were about to be evicted, the government is also looking at amending the law so that banks can give vulnerable mortgage debtors options to stay in their homes.

Numerous of these evictions are occurring to retired couples who have paid off their own homes but stood as guarantee for their children. This was a common way for youngsters, to be eligible for a home loan.
