The government figures show that 46 dwellings are occupied every day in Spain, as reported in a response to an inquiry from the Vox party last February. A third of these are in Barcelona. This figure includes both break-ins and illegal possession of properties. Not only does the new housing law not help the situation, but it leaves those facing this violation without protection, as they will have to prove that the occupants of the premises are in a difficult living situation. In addition, bureaucratic processes drag on for two years and court proceedings are endless, according to experts.
