18,000 dwellings were built illegally during the administration of Jesus Gil

18,000 dwellings were built illegally during the administration of Jesus Gil and his local party, GIL. The Junta de Andalucia (socialist) and the new town council of the town (PP) are discussing how to resolve the situation. The Junta presented a General Plan in which it foresees “a revision and regularisation” of the illegal construction, plus construction of 50,000 new dwellings over 10 years and a declaration of 3.8 million m2 as green zones. However, part of the new green zones is declared as “urbanizable” in the previous general plan (meaning earmarked for construction). If the land is expropriated, the private owners may get only 30 to 35 Euro per m2 against the 800 which they paid
The solution may be to demand contributions from the promoters/owners of the illegally constructed dwellings. Since many of the promoting companies from the Gil Era have disappeared, this will mean private owners of the illegal dwellings will be presented with the bill. The new mayor, Angela Muñoz, recommended the people affected should present official complaints. The lawyers are looking forward to year long process.
