The new owners of a Coma-Ruga campsite have given summer families a month to leave and dismantle everything. The previous owner of the Sant Salvador campsite has sold the property to the Holacamp chain and now, a few weeks before the start of the season, this company has sent a certified letter to everyone who has caravans or mobile homes warning that they have to leave before March 11. If they don't, everything that remains will be destroyed.
The lawyer for those affected, Laura Escamilla, explained to Versió RAC1 that until less than a year ago the property encouraged them to carry out renovations to unify the aesthetics of the campsite, works that cost between 20,000 and 30,000 euros. Furthermore, those affected affirm that for two years the former owner had encouraged many clients to buy the mobile homes that they had rented until then.
At the moment, there are 80 families affected, but the number could increase taking into account that a large number of clients live abroad. The majority of those affected are older people who have been at the campsite for 20, 30 or 40 years.
Nobody has given them any explanation, they suspect that the new owners' objective is to build luxury bungalows. Faced with this situation, those affected have decided to unite and take the case to justice.
The vast majority have a large mobile unit that will have to be dismantled, transported and relocated, explains the lawyer, who adds that the fact that they can only have three weekends makes their management difficult. In this way, the first claim that those affected will make is to have more time to move.
The second, compensation that includes all the expenses that the transfer will entail. Despite the fact that, he assures, what they demand financially is still "unquantifiable."
Parallel to the legal process, they will meet this Saturday to coordinate and decide how to face the problem. Now, they are studying requesting precautionary measures before the court to paralyze the transfer order.
