A building on Marcelo Usera Street has become a hotspot for drugs and prostitution. Junkies, traffickers and homeless people live in this property.
The building belongs to a bank, but it has been occupied for more than a year. A Colombian and a Dominican run the block and rent the homes to people with low purchasing power or without papers, reports Telemadrid.
One of the neighbors who lives there, Rosa, has reported that the neighbors beat her, they want to throw her out to rent her home to other people who pay more rent, since she only pays 50 euros a month. This tenant has a 65% disability and low income.
In statements to Madrid public television, she defends that she lives in fear and that every night she blocks her door with two pieces of wood and the sofa "so that no one can enter."
"This is a lifeless situation!" Rosa exclaims, at the same time that she shows the complaint she has filed with the police for the beatings received. The woman explains that "normal families used to live there, but since these individuals arrived the situation has gotten much worse."
When talking about the aggressor, Rosa defends that "since this individual has been there, everything has gotten worse. Here people deal with drugs, they don't let the neighbors sleep because this looks like an after hours event and he has three women who bring and bring the drugs to him." ". And she concludes: "The bosses threaten to burn the building if they are fired."
While the aggressor argues that "she is a very bad person."
The property is in very poor condition. It is dirty, many ceilings and stairs are broken and even windows are missing from the common areas. About thirty people live there. In some of the apartments, rooms are rented individually to obtain greater income.
