1 | Social Pressure Halts Evictions Temporarily in Spain | Espaina: Mihantona Ny Fandroahana Hiala Amin'ny Trano Noho Ny Fanerena Ara-tsosialy |
2 | This article is part of our special news coverage Europe in Crisis. | Anisan'ny fitantarana manokana ataonay momba ny Krizy ao Eoropa ity lahatsoratra ity. |
3 | Associations and platforms that formed in protest against home evictions have succeeded in getting the Asociación Española de Banca (Spanish Banking Association) to bring evictions to a halt after years of trying. | Fikambanana sy sehatra miady amin'ny fandroahana olona hiala amin'ny trano fonenany no nahomby tamin'ny fahazoan'ny Asociación Española de Banca (Fikambanan'ny Banky Espaniola) hampiato ny fandroahana taorian'ny roa taona nitolomana. |
4 | The moratorium was declared for two years, and it will specifically apply to families with small children, people with disabilities and the long term unemployed. | Nambara fa mandritra ny roa taona izany didim-pitsarana fampiatoana izany, ary ireo fianakaviana manan-janaka kely sy ireo olona sembana ary ireo olona tsy an'asa nandritra ny taona maro ihany no voakasik'izany manokana. |
5 | On November 12, the group of banks that forms the association announced the suspension of evictions for the next two years “for humanitarian reasons” and in cases of “extreme necessity”. | Tamin'ny 12 Novambra, nanambara ny Fikambanan'ny Banky (AEB) fa haato ny fandroahana amin'ny roa taona hoavy noho ny “antony maha-olona” sy amin'ny “toe-javatra tsy azo avela”. |
6 | Although the announcement was celebrated as a victory of citizen action, many criticisms and suspicions have arisen. | Na dia nankalazaina ho toy ny fandresena avy amin'ny hetsiky ny olom-pirenena aza ny fanambarana, tsikera sy ahiahy maro no niseho. |
7 | Ada Colau, spokeswoman for the community organization Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca (PAH) [es] (Platform for those Affected by Mortgages), assured [es] that the measure will make it so that “people will compete to see who is sicker and who is more unfortunate.” | Ada Colau, mpitondra tenin'ny fikambanana Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca (PAH) [es] (Sehatra Ho an'ireo iharam-pasahiranana sy fahasembanana), nampanantena [es] fa hanosika ny “olona hifaninana mba hahitana hoe iza no marary ary iza no tena ory.” |
8 | On its webpage, the organization laments [es] that the new law decree is: | Tao amin'ny habakany, nilaza ny fikambanana fa diso fanantenana [es] satria ilay didim-panjakana vaovao dia : |
9 | […] a trick supposedly based on economic criteria and vulnerability, with the sole purpose of appeasing the bank and excluding yet again the majority of people who are suffering this drama […] | […] Hafetsifetsena, lazaina fa mifototra amin'ny sivana ara-toekarena sy ny fahosana (vulnérabilité), izay ny tanjona tiana ahatongavana amin'izany dia ny hamalifaliana ireo banky sy hanesorana indray ny ankamaroan'ireo olona iharan'izany voina izany […] |
10 | Currently there are over 500 evictions a day in Spain, and there have been 400,000 from the start of the crisis in 2008. | Ankehitriny, fandroahana maherin'ny 500 no miseho ao Espaina, ka 400.000 no isany tamin'ny fiandohan'ny krizy 2008. |
11 | To all of this absurdity we should add that two million homes are empty, and, also, that the bailouts of public money go to the same groups that handle the evictions as well as to citizens that cannot pay an increasing mortgage. | Toa hafahafa tokoa ny mahita fa trano fonenana roa tapitrisa no babangoana, ary ireo tompon'andraikitra mitantana sy manapa-kevitra amin'ny fandroahana ireo olom-pirenena tsy afaka mandoa trosa tsy mitsaha-mitombo ireo ihany no mila ny volam-bahoaka mba tsy ho very. |
12 | In such an unjust climate that has already led to great social discontent, camping out at bank headquarters, and even various suicides of people who were going to be evicted from their homes [es], the two largest parties PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) and PP (Popular Party), have come together to negotiate alternatives. | Ao anatin'izany toe-javatra tsy ara-drariny izany, izay niteraka fahatezerana lehibe ara-tsosialy, nametraka tobim-pialofana teo anoloan'ireo foiben'ny banky ireo olona voakasiky ny fandroahana, avy eo nitarika famonoan-tena marobe an'ireo olona izay fantatra fa horoahina amin'ny tranony [es], nanao fivoriana ny antokon'ny mpiasa sosialista espaniola PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) sy ny antokom-bahoaka (Popular Party) mba hitady vahaolana. |

16 | However, as some point out, it is evident that political groups did not do this on their own. | Na dia izany aza, araka ny fahitan'ny sasany, tsy ireo vondrona politika no misafidy hanao izany. |
17 | Rather, it has been the result of great social pressure. | Angamba, vokatry ny fanerena lehibe ara-tsosialy izany, izay manery ireo governemanta mba hijery ny olana ka hitady vahaolana. |
18 | Since 2009, associations like stopdesahucios [es] (stopevictions), the 15M or the Platform for those Affected by Mortgages [es], have been stopping evictions and proposing three points to make the “right to adequate housing” effective: the suspension of evictions (with demonstrations of activism and resistance), social rent, and “dación en pago” (which “allows a borrower to legally hand back the keys and in exchange a lender fully discharges the borrower of the debt”). | Nanomboka tamin'ny 2009, ny fikambanana tahaka ny stopdesahucios [es] (stopevictions), ny 15M na ny Plataforma de afectados de la hipoteca (sehatry ny olona iharan'ny fanomezana antoka hitrosàna) [es], no nitolona mba hanajanonana ireo fandroahana ary nanolotra teboka telo ahafahana mametraka ny “zo hanana trano fonenana” ho lalàna manankery: ny fampiatoana ireo fandroahana (miaraka amin'ny hetsi-panoherana ataon'ny mpikatroka, hofan-trano sosialy ary solon-trosa. |
19 | This last measure would be an alternative to the situation of many families who continue to pay for the housing they have been evicted from. | Fomba iray hamonjena ireo fianakaviana marobe voatery tsy maintsy mandoa vola noho izy voaraoka tao amin'ny tranony ity fepetra farany ity. |
20 | Furthermore, other initiatives such as the massive collection of signatures for reform of the mortgage law in the form of ILP (Popular Legislative Initiative) [es] or the recent camp-out of those affected in the Plaza de Celenque in Madrid have convened people, not simply those who are affected, to throw themselves into an issue that was previously unknown or considered a minor drama. | Fanampin'izany, hevitra hafa toy ny fanangonan-tsonia marobe izay miantso amin'ny fanovana ny lalàna momba ny trosa na antoka amin'ny alalan'ny ILP (Initiative législative populaire) [es] na ilay filasian'ireo olona voakasiky ny olana tao amin'ny Plaza de Celenque ao Madrid no ahafahana mihaino ny hevi-bahoaka rehetra fa tsy ny hevitr'ireo olona voakasika ihany no mahaliana izay tsy mba fantatry ny olona ny fisiany na sokajiana fotsiny ho voina kely tsy mahataitra. |
21 | On the other side, parliamentary leftists groups in Congress have presented many proposals against the evictions, in this legislature as well as the previous one, which have all been rejected [es] by PP and PSOE. | Etsy andaniny, nandritra ny fotoana iasàn'ny antenimieran-dalàna ankehitriny sy farany teo, nanolotra soso-kevitra maro manohitra ny fandroahana ny avy amin'ireo vondrona parlemantera ankavia, saingy notsipahan' [es] ny PP sy PSOE avokoa izany soso-kevitra rehetra izany. |

24 | Both the announcement of the Spanish Banking Association as well as the recent awareness of politicians can be seen as a success of citizen pressure, as can other good news, like the fact that there are police offers who refuse to take part in the evictions [es]. | Afaka sokajiana ho fahombiazana avy amin'ny fanerena ara-tsosialy ny fanambaran'ny AEB sy ny fahatongavan-tsainan'ireo mpanao politika, toy izany ihany koa ireo vaovao mahafaly, tahaka ny hoe polisy mandà tsy handray anjara amin'ny fandroahana [es]. |
25 | But the reality is that few are confident about the intentions of the Goverment: PAH does not see the logic in having decisions about the matter made by people who hindered its solution for so long. | Kanefa raha ny zava-misy dia vitsy dia vitsy ireo olona matoky ny fikasan'ny Governemanta: tsy mazava amin'ny PAH hoe nahoana ireo olona izay manakana ny vahaolana rehetra mikasika izany olana izany no mbola manohy mikarakara adihevitra foana hatramin'izao. |
26 | In a press release, PAH expressed their distrust for two reasons: first, that it was PP and PSOE that provoked the situation (“mercantilizando la vivienda, sobreendeudando a la población, permitiendo que la Banca estafe a la población”) (commercializing housing, putting the people into massive debt, permitting the Bank to swindle people) and, secondly, they did nothing once the drama began, and have prevented the adoption and success of measure to resolve this problem. | Tao anatin'ny fanambarana an-gazety, naneho ny ahiahiny ny PAH noho ny antony roa: voalohany, ny PP sy PSOE no nahatonga ny zava-misy ankehitriny (“mercantilizando la vivienda, sobreendeudando a la población, permitiendo que la Banca estafe a la población”) (fitadiavam-bola amin'ny trano fonenana, mahatonga ireo olona ho bokan-trosa, manome alàlana ny banky hamita-bahoaka) ary ny faharoa, tsy mba nanao na inona na inona ireo antoko raha nanomboka niseho ny voina, ka naka ireo fepetra tokony horaisina hoentina hamahana ny olana. |
27 | A person affected by the evictions says: | Hoy ny olona iray niharan'ny fandroahana nilaza: |
28 | A supporter of the platform, a public defender or anyone from the courts would have liked us to intervene at the meeting between PSOE and PP, so it could have been fair. | Mpanohana ny hetsika, mpiaro ny vahoaka na solontenan'ny fitsarana no tianay mba handray anjara amin'ny fivorian'ny PSOE sy PP, amin'izay mba mangarahara ny fandehan-javatra. |
29 | The affected person added that the solution is not a moratorium but rather a law that contains the three points that PAH has emphasized. | Nilaza ihany koa ireo olona voakasiky ny fandroahana fa tsy ilay didim-panjakana mampiato ny fandroahana no vahaolana fa lalàna ahitana ireo teboka telo izay nasongadin'ny PAH. |
30 | Another spokesperson showed their distrust in the executive: | Nampiseho ny ahiahiny amin'ireo fahefana mpanatanteraka ny mpitondra teny hafa: |
31 | The Government wants to whitewash their image as well as PSOE's. | Te hanatsara ny endriny fotsiny ny governemanta miaraka amin'ny PSOE. |
32 | We want them to negotiate a solution. | Tianay mba hijery vahaolana miaraka izy ireo. |
33 | To change the law like the people are asking. | Mba hanovana ny lalàna araka ny hetahetam-bahoaka. |
34 | We need to awaken consciences, that the people did not make this law pass. | Te-hanaitra ny fahatsiarovan-tena izahay, fa tsy havelan'ny olona handalo fotsiny izany lalàna izany. |
35 | Hugo Martínez Abarca, in his column [es], gave his opinion about the real reason for the meeting: | Hugo Martínez Abarca, tao amin'ny lahatsoratra fanadihadiany [es], nanome ny heviny momba ny tena anton'ny fivoriana: |
36 | (…)For the banks its bad business to associate their particular brand with the violation of rights of the most weak. | (…)Ho an'ireo banky, manaratsy ny endriny sy ny marikany ny bizina ratsy ataony amin'ny fanitsakitsahana ny zon'ireo tena osa sy sahirana. |
37 | The evictions have became a drama for the banks as well, and that's where PP and PSOE enter denying those who have been evicted the floor and staging a deep concern for the issue. Many opinions concerning the issue have emerged on Twitter as well: | Nanjary loza ho an'ireo banky ihany koa ny fandroahana, izany indrindra no antony hirotsahan'ny PP sy PSOE an-tsehatra amin'ny fanakànana ireo olona niharan'ny fandroahana tsy haneho hevitra ka mody sahirana mafy mitady vahaolana mikasika izao olana izao. |
38 | @albertopradilla: The Government and PSOE have not “come to an agreement” to avoid evictions. | Hevitra marobe mikasika ny olana no hita tao amin'ny Twitter toy ny hoe: |
39 | They always have been, before they were allowing them and now they are disguising them. | @albertopradilla: Tsy “hahita marimaritra iraisana” ny governemanta sy ny PSOE, mba hisorohana amin'ny fandroahana olona hiala amin'ny trano fonenany. |
