When Justice in Tenerife Protects the Invaders

The owner of a hotel in Tenerife has expressed her outrage after revealing that a judge ordered her to cover the electricity costs for a group of squatters illegally occupying her property. The case has sparked controversy and highlighted the legal challenges faced by property owners in Spain.

According to the complainant, a group of people settled in the hotel without her consent and began renting out the rooms to others. Despite attempts to evict them, the judicial authorities have ruled in favor of the squatters, arguing that eviction would be disproportionate due to the lack of alternative housing. As a result, the owner has been forced to cover the costs of basic utilities, including electricity, which are being used by the illegal occupants.

This incident has sparked a debate about the rights of property owners versus the rights of illegal occupants and the effectiveness of the judicial system in resolving such cases. Meanwhile, the situation at the hotel remains unresolved, leaving the owner in a legally and financially vulnerable position.

The case has received extensive media coverage and drawn public attention to the problem of squatting in Spain and the need for legal reforms to protect property owners’ rights.
