Overview

• Eviction was carried out on June 9 by the Juzgado de Primera Instancia número 12 de Vigo after her exclusive use right from the divorce settlement expired in October 2022.
• A court bailiff and locksmith first asked the occupants to vacate before the Policía Nacional enforced the order when they refused to leave.
• Attorney Eva Aguilera argues the eviction was wrongly treated as a ‘desahucio por precario’ against a 50% co-owner, bypassing protections for vulnerable tenants.
• Álvarez submitted a confidential binding purchase offer and requested to extend her exclusive use until her son gains financial independence, but both proposals were rejected.
• Because they retain ownership of the property, neither Álvarez nor her son can access social housing aid and are currently searching for alternative accommodation.
