The Arrecife City Council has proceeded to evict the house in La Destila, where the local police officer Narciso Pérez resided. This Friday was the deadline for this house to be vacated, after the Contentious-Administrative Court Number 1 of Las Palmas authorized its eviction.

Workers from Roads and Works of the Arrecife City Council went to this house first thing on Friday, around 8:00 a.m., and the local police officer handed them the keys to the house, as the Councilor for Education, Francisca Toledo, explained to La Voz. The Local Police, for its part, went to "draw up a report."

The Councilor for Education indicated that although the local police officer has appealed this eviction, "the sealing of the house can be done anyway, because the procedure is closed and it is a court order." "Any procedure he tries will not stop the sealing," Toledo stated.

In the houses attached to La Destila, two other families were living, although one of them "has not been seen for days," so the councilor believes that "they have already left." The councilor hopes that the other family "will leave in a few days," since they did not present "either an appeal or allegations." "This case is being handled by another judge from another Court who has not yet resolved it, but we hope he will do so soon. In view of what has happened this Friday, I suppose they will leave because they were waiting for something to happen," Toledo insisted.

When this house is also vacated, it will be sealed. In addition, the Department of Parks and Gardens and the Department of Cleaning have been notified to "clean up the area, because there is a tremendous amount of accumulated garbage."

"My fight was the eviction of La Destila"

Francisca Toledo feels "good" for having been able to evict this house attached to La Destila but, on the other hand, feels "impotent" because "this procedure has taken years when it should not have taken anything." "Since I entered in 2011, my fight was the eviction of La Destila," she defended.

The councilor has always understood that the people who lived in these houses "had no right, because it was not family property." "So much procedure, so many lawyers and it was such a simple thing," she lamented.
