Overview

  • A judge postponed the eviction from his three-decade home in Murcia until July 23 to review appeals over his vulnerability.
  • Verde Iberia, which acquired the property following a mortgage execution process that began in 2016, has refused to negotiate a social lease.
  • Spain’s Social Security did not recognize his years of work in Equatorial Guinea, limiting his pension to just over €1,000 per month.
  • Afromurcia en Movimiento and the PAH have mobilized support campaigns and planned protests at his residence.
  • His legal team is banking on a favorable ruling on vulnerability status to secure long-term housing assistance before the next eviction date.
