HOUSING IS A RIGHT The real estate boom build towers reach for workers, and making land more expensive working-class neighborhoods, which are the ultimately generate wealth in this city stained areas. The housing emergency talks about half a million people, including residents of villages, settlements, hotels, tenements and houses taken ", not including the thousands of tenants who still have access to a formal holiday. However, governments do not face, not solve, nor acknowledge this reality. The only official policy aims the expulsion of the workers and the humble of the city. Today
social slide drags families from renting an apartment, a hotel room, a villa, culminating in the street, the product of inflation adjust rents, real estate ambition dollarized and conditions requirements impossible to meet. Faced with this, the government does not act when he has to develop the villages, to legislate on idle housing, affordable mortgages concrete, build social housing have the land themselves, and not going to finish them off or give away as it does now the Institute of City Housing, with the silence of the Legislature, which approves the government budget in social sub runs while running in areas of enforcement, subsidizes private education, grant favors to partner companies and / or family is privatize health and culture. In other words, the Legislature that ends up being functional for the purposes of government. Front
all this, there are those who organize allowing us to provide some answers and contentions, involving the defense of a property, the establishment of housing cooperatives, the defense against legal abuses (San Telmo tenants, mortgagors), in short, an organization that strengthens the claim of right to adequate housing.
This action by the State is a historical constant, over a century ago was the rent strike, yesterday was the seizure of American Indian Park that took 3 lives, and even today are not directly responsible nor ideological, nor the solution to homelessness. Governments shirk the obligation of his work, accusing immigration or the inefficiency of other governments. And attacking the organizational forms of the homeless through the threat of expulsion from the system, the continuous increase of evictions (with judicial complicity), and direct repression of the UCEP yesterday and today by forces whose use mafia "rents "State-read their own hooligans, street gangs union; although" uniform "out of uniform, to realize an unlawful eviction, to justify a slaughter, to explain that we do not deserve decent housing.
face of all the events we must keep fighting, access to decent housing is a right. Or housing, or health, or education, or the work we will be given away. So here we decided to organize and demand decent housing for all.
