Having a holiday home on a Beautiful Island is a dream for many people but for some owners and new yorker its become a Nightmare Squatters are blighting the Balearic Island and getting them out is often slow and costly squatting has become more common in spain since the financial crisis due to the rise in poverty but some of the socalled occupiers in new york or are simply doing it not out of desperate need but because they can. Normally anyone with a holiday home on the Belly Eric Island of majorca is the envy of their friends but many of these owners are currently faced with an unenviable problem squatters known here as. Its officer carlos or roscoes job to track them down here hes checking on a Community North of the capital palma. Us now from this is a newer Housing Development comprised of detached or Semi Detached Homes this one here number twenty four is a squatted house you can see its a large Single Family home but theres no one even yet and. Most of the squatters are here tanos says spains romani people are called. Epigenetic they either climb over the gate or break it down here theyve removed the lock. They do the same with the entrance doors then they install new locks so
no one else can break out and they rip out electricity and water meters then tap into these utilities illegally. If beaucoup does arent driven off the property within the first forty eight hours its hard for officials to have them removed the front of the facility theres a spanish constitution says every spaniard has the right to a decent home clearly that stands in direct contradiction to the Ownership Rights of those affected but the police arent free to make the decision about whether the person inside the home has a right to be there or not thats the job of the Justice System is. This property in play and upon my belongs to franks in a month from hamburg but the last time he came to majorca there was a nasty surprise awaiting him. When i arrived there was a little surprised to see what looked like a Mattress Lying in my courtyard. At first i thought maybe a homeless person that climbed over the wall and was i dont want to gate three
dogs came running out me forcing me to get back into my car doesnt mean thats all that i called the police. Reported so i go. Meanwhile the Home Invaders are sitting in his Kitchen Table sleeping in his beds and selling off his possessions like his t. V. No idea what its like inside no or whether anything is still there at all. We try to find out. Just where you are keeping this house it belongs to my aunt how many of you are there just my hand and her daughter and thats all do you know that this house belongs to a german magazine this is on the money. And then the situation escalates. Clear out or ill call the cops and i were. To delete Everything Unturned the
camera off. Delete that you cant fill me to know where theyre going to be very clear scram or you get a punch in the face. Meanwhile officer orozco has received another tip this house is still being squatted but its occupants will be evicted soon. Would you like to come in. Has he come how long have you lived here. The moment you i will say mr moody greener for around six months. So the rich in order came but we havent left because we have nowhere to go i dont have a job. I live from selling scrap metal and more or less whatever comes my. Son edward zero is seventeen and lives the life of a vagabond at other peoples expense. What he wants to change that oh. Well. I quit school but now i want to look for job training so i can get work eventually but im hard. Living on the margins of society they take what they can get. For me and i would be worse if i had to sleep in a car or under a bridge. And thats why i was quite houses and. Money thats more humane you know what i wouldnt want for i see it. But few owners of Squatter Homes are likely to share his point of view. The Spanish Parliament are working on a law to implement fast track trials for swatting and apply stiffer penalty case. When i lived in paris friends and i would spend evenings doing that the french are known for whiling away countless hours over a leisurely meal in a based row all In The Name Of Labelling but of course this was before the advent
of smoking bans and smartphones when not all communication could be done virtually nowadays the traditional french bistro is slowly dying but the mayor of a small village and champagne is fighting to keep them alive. The small town of bars in the Champagne Region of northeastern france was once home to twenty to be strohs. Today just six remain. For mayor filipe board part of the french way of life is disappearing with the beast rose so to make sure the remaining establishment survived hes doing all he can to help their owners. Already how ready how are you going to needle through the next year youre getting a really big terrace the you will get. The Cafe Du Ballet closed two years ago
now the mayor has purchased the business with the towns money he wants to reopen it otherwise its Liquor License will be lost for good. Personally i think its important to save this tradition because the beast row is a Meeting Place historically in france the bistro is a place to meet after work or on weekends. We do we get the mayors remarks reflect the sentiments of many residents of the town especially the older ones who have already lost their favorite haunts. Not yet there was once a by hand. On the cafe diplomats it was really nice but it closed that now its an optical glass that Something Else entirely im supposed to because it was a really nice place that ive been before. But things have changed in bar sorel bistro
owner bruno laurie and his daughter nina say that people arent as spontaneous as they used to be and they fail to appreciate the nicer things in life. Mina says things in life are unexpected they meet someone in the best row have a drink and leave only three hours later thats the unexpected side of life this is. The towns mayor is pinning his hopes on the Younger Generation he likes the concept proposed by matthew or by the twenty three year old wants to open a Champagne Bar here in the heart of the Champagne Region he aims to attract tourists and locals alike. Champagne bar. That something people here havent seen before. Youve got to make people want to see whats going on inside and to give them the desire to come back again. When
they walk in the door they should say wow. But Blue Laws Yeah whos tried just about everything to draw more guests to his establishment has his doubts about that idea. Theyve got in those interviews that were in a town in the Champagne Region you can find champagne or never resellers see it everywhere but you know its not like opening a bar in a place without champagne you know but by ok. The towns mayor says the beast experience is about more than the beverage served its about the company. When we go on holiday what do we do in the evenings we go out to the Village Square to be among people who more did not sit all alone in our little hotel room every night was awful all social will. Be nice if people did that a bit more often in boston because without the strohs france would lose much of
its beef. It would be hard to imagine france without the stroke lets hope that day never cons if youd like to find out more about any of todays stories visit our Facebook Page stories or better yet send me a tweet thanks for watching. The
