Adoración Peñas, councilor of the municipal group of IU-Greens has expressed his concern for the families of the High Barrios who have lived in a tremendous uncertainty and anxiety for months with the constant fear of remaining in the street.
More than a dozen families are affected by the initiative of the consistory to construct the evacuation round of the High Barrios, in a section that will run from the Ramblilla of San Lázaro to the church of Santa Maria.
This municipal action supposes the expropriation of buildings and land, but mainly of houses of humble people who are forced to abandon their houses in an imperative way.
Peñas recalls that the Barrios Altos are urban spaces very punished by marginalization and social exclusion, whose inhabitants have very limited possibilities to improve their living conditions and to reside in another alternative space by their own means.
In addition, the mayor stressed that although these neighborhoods have been the subject of various actions of urban regeneration in terms of asphalting, road improvements, etc., for decades has suffered from an adequate comprehensive social intervention to reduce the rate of marginality they present , Since only, according to the edil, has been carried out actions of assistance character.
From IU-Greens show their concern for an expropriation process that can leave in a situation of defenselessness and of greater vulnerability to the affected neighbors, since, although they have increased the amounts offered in the beginning, in no case they are sufficient for To deal with the purchase of a decent home, even having to include in the compensation administrative and notary expenses.
Peñas has defended the abstention of his group in the vote of the plenary of last Friday in which the final approval of the mentioned project was voted in "two sections by the procedure of joint appraisal, and of the project of direct occupation in another section, of the Goods and rights necessary to be able to build the programmed road, "arguing that while they consider it necessary and opportune to make improvements in the Upper Barrios, the city can not allow more than a dozen families to lose their homes for a miserable compensation that does not Allows relocating elsewhere.
Peñas has pointed out that, in general, the neighbors of these neighborhoods are very ingrained in their surroundings and like to live there, so if they have to leave their homes, which, although humble, have been carried out with much effort.
For all this, he reminded the mayor that this issue is a real social problem for affected residents who have been distressed and desperate for more than six months in the face of the constant fear of losing their homes and the impossibility of being able to acquire another with the low indemnities that Have offered them and demands that they immediately seek the right legal alternatives to offer a solution to these families.
