You write that ´The Junta has no authority to stop the demolitions.´

Is the Junta not responsible for employing and overseeing Town Hall staff who have been negligent or corrupt in the first place by issuing illegal licences? How did it miss all these (nearly)quarter of a million properties in the south of Spain if its was doing its job?

The ´firm sentences which have to be respected…´respected by whom?

The incompetence at best, or corruption at worst is so blatant that no self-respecting judge or judicial system could seriously impose these sentences without challenging the origins of the infractions.

How could Almanzora have 11,000 illegal homes if paid officials had been doing their jobs?

Let the courts indict these people who have caused the infractions of the law in the first place and not the casualties of Town Hall, promotors or Lawyers´ irresponsibility.

If the Spanish Legal System were to be subject to the terms of Consumer Laws (which are consituted to protect citizens against faulty or fraudulent products ) it would be discredited, fined and trashed within days.

And that would be real Justice.

This sort of thing starts civil wars. The last troubles in N.I. started off over housing disputes. When the state starts to act like a bunch gangster with the courts in their pockets, what way left is there?
