'Government completes largest collective eviction in Denia affecting 3,000 coastal residents for commercial purposes.'

Ministry defines boundaries and owners appeal to the Supreme Court against the "theft" and "looting" of residential houses they defend as "wealth" for the coast.

Mazon will take action against the "occupation by the Podemosocialist Party government" of homes on the Denia coast. The evacuations of Denia residents caused by the government's "attack" reveal the real reasons for the deterioration of the coast.

The government will carry out a collective eviction:

The government, which has always opposed evictions, is poised to commit collective''Eviction and one of the most massive in Spanish history in Denia, where more than 3,000 affected individuals will lose their homes and buildings affected by the so-called borders on the coast.

This is the technical name, but in practice these are expropriations that make these private properties public or leave them rented so that their owners cannot touch them.

This Alicante town is one of the most affected, although there are others on the same Alicante Costa Blanca, where the marking of ten kilometers of coastline by technicians from the Ministry of Ecological Transformation was started today, according to local community assessments and an appeal to the Supreme Court.

These marks on the land are already transforming''s many coastal homes, which their owners will no longer be able to reconstruct or repair, and are periodically damaged by storms causing land compression and sea progression.

Factually, some of the affected groups have already protested because the images on which the measurements are based were taken in 2020 and the landscape has already changed due to climatological factors.

Protecting our beaches and citizens' rights:

"The aim of these associations, as well as more than 50 equivalent associations along the Spanish coast, is to defend our beaches and citizens' rights against the unjustified and insidious attacks to which we are subjected by the State through the General''coastal governance,' said representatives of two such platforms, Playas Norte de Denia (APND) and Playa Deveses-Basot, with more than 800 members.

They warned that "all the residents of Denia are very concerned because the delineation of boundaries means the loss of ownership of our residences in many cases, legally established and built for more than 100 years. "

Administrative leases, condemnation to destruction Because of this, they state that the Pedro Sanchez government "through the General Directorate of the Coast acts more like an organized group of crooks, changing the ownership of legal houses into rentals, i.e. depriving their legal owners of ownership of them.

With time they will all be demolished and can only be sold at a 'ridiculous price', so''how a potential buyer knows in advance that these residences have an expiration date. The end result is a legal eviction, which they also call 'theft' and 'robbery', depriving these families of 'legal protection'.

In his move, Pedro Pastor of the Platform of Coastal Law Victims in Denia lamented that they are being penalized and these buildings are not seen as "wealth" for the coast, but as damage. Many of the buildings are a hundred years old, some of them were ancient fishermen's houses that were inherited by the descendants of the original owners. "And to top it off with shameful malice, claiming to blame residents for a problem they did not create," they add.

Destruction and confiscation:

In the case of the beach''Devesse, the regeneration of the beach is currently underway, but before this reconstruction is completed and more than 20 meters of coastline is created on the beach, residents soon find themselves without their properties and these properties pass to a rural quality, "outside the building and therefore subject to confiscation and destruction".

The Director General of the Coast Authority of the Valencian Society, Vicente Martínez Mus, is personally on the spot, present in Denia on Tuesday, and said that this government will appeal the procedure to change the situation, which they consider unfair to those affected.
