The Court of First Instance of Marbella Plaza 1 suspends the eviction scheduled for Monday 28 after mediation by the City Council with the owning company of the property. The new deadline is December 1.
The eviction of Francisca Carmona, the 74-year-old resident of Marbella, will not take place this Monday 28 as planned. The Civil Section of the Court of First Instance of Marbella Plaza number 1 has suspended the eviction and postponed it until December 1, as Diario Sur has learned. The decision comes after the Marbella City Council mediated between the woman and the owning company of the property, Niesa Nueva Inmobiliaria Española.
Francisca's lawyer and the company's representatives have submitted a joint request to suspend the execution. The City Council has committed to finding a solution before November 1, and the court has granted an additional month, until December 1, to reach an agreement that allows the woman to stay in her home or, alternatively, find housing elsewhere.
The family is confident in the municipal commitment and points out that the mayor herself, Ángeles Muñoz, has been involved in seeking a solution. Francisca, for her part, "is very, very happy," according to a relative. Sources close to the process explain that the date of December 1 is not coincidental: it corresponds to that extra margin for negotiation.
When this newspaper reported the case, municipal government sources had already stated that they were working on all possible avenues: "We are working on all possible solutions and we hope that the woman can stay in that house if that is what she wants."
Francisca, of Roma ethnicity and born in Marbella, bought a two-storey house in the La Florida area in 1990 with her now-deceased husband for 1,800,000 pesetas (10,818.21 euros). The settlement, made up of single-storey houses and shanties in the area of the current bus station, was demolished two years later by the municipal government of Jesús Gil as part of its plans to eliminate marginal areas. The City Council provided protected housing to most of those evicted, but not to Francisca, who has since been relocated to three temporary homes. The last one, twelve years ago, in the Plaza de Toros neighbourhood, where she currently resides. That house, which she believed was municipal, is owned by Niesa Nueva Inmobiliaria Española, a company owned by the García Obregón family.
