Pablo Casado has traveled to Badalona to visit a building with squatted floors.

From there, he has called for a "political consensus" against "illegal squats" and to fight against the "mafias" that, in his opinion, operate en masse in Spain.

In the neighborhood of Health, and together with the mayor of the town, the 'popular' Xavier García-Albiol, the president of the PP has taken advantage of the specific cases that occur there to defend his proposed law to speed up the recovery of homes and toughen the penalties for squatters.

The head of the opposition has also taken the opportunity to criticize Pablo Iglesias: "It cannot be understood that the second vice president of the Government justified the squatting in Congress yesterday."

"If you justify squatting, let some squatters live in your backyard," Casado has said.

"It is a simple solution," he insisted.

"As Mr. Iglesias does not have problems of square meters, let them squat his home," he stressed once again.

The PP wants to lead the "offensive" to alert the public to the maximum against squatting.

For this reason, the 'popular' are preparing initiatives to present in all city councils and in all regional parliaments.

The idea of ​​the national leadership of the 'popular' is to make the mayors and presidents of the PSOE "portray themselves" in the face of a problem "of enormous gravity" that this Government is minimizing, according to Genoa.

"It cannot be," Casado emphasized, "that we have 3,700 illegal squats so far this year," triple the number in 2005. "It is the problem of the middle and lower classes, who cannot even pay the legal protection of a private lawyer ", has agreed the head of the opposition.

In that sense, he wanted to clarify that the penal hardening that he proposes "does not affect vulnerable groups, groups that cannot afford a home, but simply illegal squatting, the usurpation of real estate, which needs a legal coverage once and for all ".

In addition, where the PP governs, the party's idea is to intensify its measures against this "scourge."

In Murcia, the government of Fernando López Miras has initiated a "roadmap" with a dozen measures, such as the constitution of a Table against Squatting or prohibiting associations that promote this practice from accessing grants.

The Community of Madrid has announced the launch of the 112 Squatting phone and the creation of an Office against squatting.

In Castilla y León, the PP has supported an initiative by its partner, Cs, to simplify the administrative burden and civil procedure against squatters, "boost the powers of city councils and county councils" and urge toughen the Penal Code and the Law of Criminal Procedure for those who illegally occupy a house.

And sources from the Xunta de Galicia point out that they are "preparing" new measures in this regard, but it is still too early to unravel them.
