The dramatic conflict unleashed between two women in a house located in Es Novells 55, in the area of Santa Eulária des Riu, has added a new chapter: after having left the place with their belongings for “fear” of retaliation, the woman denounced for squatting has returned this morning and warned: “I am not going to leave and I am going to file complaints for theft and trespassing”.
Last Saturday, staff of the “antiokupa” company APD Security Iberia, hired by the tenant, named Laura and Argentinean nationality, was installed in an annex of the house in order to “exert pressure” and force the departure of Mariana, also Argentinean. According to La Voz de Ibiza, Mariana left the house between Monday and Tuesday morning, but returned in the morning accompanied by two other women. In the photos shown in this article you can see them with their cell phones in hand, probably taking pictures or recording the events.
The denounced woman denies everything: “I am not a squatter”.
Mariana has agreed to talk to this media and tell her version of events. “This person rented me the apartment (a room) a few months ago for 550 euros, but in the middle of the summer, it seems that he wanted to ask me for more money. Once he had everything set up, he told me to leave on August 1.” When asked why she believes she was asked to leave, Mariana answered: “Because she got it in her pussy and thought ‘for this I can ask for 1,000 euros’. I have a video with all the conditions that he put me at the time”. It should be recalled that the arrangement between the two had been by word of mouth and that, according to the tenant, the landlord was always aware of the situation.
“I’m not a squatter, I was paying until last month when he cut off my electricity. And he has been threatening me that he was going to bring me four thugs, they even slashed the tires on my car,” she has accused.
Mariana also said that she left the house out of “fear” and that for a few days she will stay “at a friend’s house”. “I am going to return to the house because it is my home. I am not going to leave and I am going to file complaints for robbery and breaking and entering,” she told this newspaper.
When asked about the state of the shared garden, with garbage bags piled up, rotting food and plastic scattered around the grounds, Mariana replied: “It was shit when I arrived. The garden is hers, if she wants to clean it up. If the garbage was mine, I understand that throwing it on your property is not a crime”.
“I only owe the last month’s rent, and my electricity has been cut off for two months. The woman, who is a fourth-rate conventillera and a bitter woman, is threatening and coercing me to leave. But I will return to my house in a few days,” she concluded.
Tenant laments, “He’s come back to continue harassing me.”
On the other side, Laura has ratified her accusations against Mariana: “She has returned to stay and to continue harassing me. She brought two ‘friends’ to feel accompanied, and they threaten me with spreading images of me that are going to make me purple”. “This woman is so crazy that she believes her own insanity. Please, let Social Affairs give her a home,” she has demanded in dialogue with this medium. “The law in Spain right now defends scoundrels like her, who go about being victims and vulnerable but live off people like me, who pay taxes and high rent,” Laura, mother of two minor daughters, has recriminated.
