Great deployment in Dénia to evict the urbanization squat La Siesta
The coming and going of vans from a security company has been constant throughout the day today in the first streets of Montgó. These vehicles had the same address and the same objective, the La Siesta urbanization, where they would intervene to evict their current tenants.
Dozens of people have woken up for the last time in these blocks that the developer once abandoned to their fate. Since then, little by little people have been arriving to form a community of residents who lived outside the law, without permission from a company that at the time erected the buildings and then disappeared.
Now, according to what some of these tenants tell us, a bank has taken over the buildings and has reached an economic agreement with those who lived in the blocks where the work was most advanced. “They say that they have been offered €15.000,” one of the neighbors who will still spend the night there tells this newsroom, since, they believe, they have not been interested in her block due to the state in which she left.
Once outside what had been their homes, the accesses to the evicted homes have been blocked with iron and other security elements to prevent them from sneaking back inside. These farms have been left empty for the first time in a long time, probably to resume construction so many years later. Of course, it is not known if they will settle for the blocks that have been emptied today or seek to regain control of the entire urbanization.
According to the company that has been in charge of the eviction, it has been “friendly”. They confirm that the tenants would have been offered financial compensation on the spot.
