Mexico 1220: organized neighbors continue to fight for their right to decent housing
From
Monday 11 to nine in the morning until Tuesday 19, 1220 Mexico's neighbors to resist the weather. A total of 23 families totaling 105 people and half of them kids, several of them with heart and respiratory problems, and three pregnant women in 6 months. All families have been camping since the first day on the street and has not joined any person not resident in the house of Mexico 1220.
In conditions of extreme vulnerability, have organized to handle this situation better and sustain good relations with other neighbors of Montserrat. They argued their position before the inclement weather and on the street because they realized they had to fight for their rights, so they got the strength.
The claim is for a worthy and permanent housing solution. The first proposal of GCBA was to give $ 400, divide the family by sending them to various hostels and their belongings to deposits. Given this offer residents decided to fight. Elected by an assembly, which would remain in place the eviction until you get a dignified solution.
On Wednesday 13, Judge Garcia, chosen by lot to take the case "Maria Isabel Moreira and others against the GCBA and others, ordered a precautionary measure so that the next day GCBA a detailed report on the status and actions. Government officials in the city were presented after the time limit set by the judge, saying he did not have the information requested and needed an extension to respond to four days of camping neighbors on the street.
In this situation, the judge ordered the GCBA to urgently provide basic elements to ensure the survival of families. The third day of camp the Ministry of National Development, through the management of the Movement Evita, provided the residents of chemical toilets, food, blankets and tents. Still waiting for the actions of macrismo, which came just half square blankets, ignoring the court order and violating numerous constitutional rights of children and adults.
Neighbors are organized for the purpose of obtaining a housing solution, no "silver", and had set themselves emphasize outright lying media monopolies (see Annex I).
This organization is not managed by the emergency the eviction is the result of a job long held by the membership. In this group of people there is a real and deep commitment is evident in its participation in various activities. This compromise allowed the court to hold Nueve de Julio Avenue throughout the week (except on Saturday, the day that she went to a whole Avoid Capital Movement), a march to the Ministry of Town on Tuesday 12 and a festival Solidarity Sunday. All these demonstrations were crowded with the support of neighborhood residents, organizations that were aware of the situation and, mainly, by the initiative of the protagonists. Because
all this, we were able to get a hearing with the judge Gallardo, who made two determinations. On the one hand, ruled giving families a subsidy of $ 700 for ten months to complete immediately with the homeless. On the other hand, forced the (Institute of Town Housing (IVC), the Corporation of the South and the GCBA to the May 2 to meet with the families formed a cooperative to give a definitive solution to housing problems. To achieve this goal will be granted a mortgage and manage the acquisition of land and construction of housing by the hand of the neighbors.
This conflict reveals the strength of the organization of workers and the courage to fight for a worthy cause. In the same way that reveals the ease with which the economic power groups criminalize social protest while they trample the rights of workers.
