Bosch: Judge and spokesman of Judges for democracy (JPD). Spain
According to Bosch, the solution to mortgage drama in Spain is to adopt "immediately" a moratorium with "retroactive" force, in favour of families who do not have sufficient resources. It also proposes to apply social rent formulas in other cases.
"It is worrying that the Government seems to be opting for patches and insufficient solutions that do not solve the underlying problems".
In this sense, JPD spokesman said that "it's time to act responsibly to addressstructural reform of the mortgage system to end the hundreds of thousands of existing social dramas"
In addition, Bosch has mentioned the ruling issued Thursday by the Attorney General of the Court of Justice of the European Union (TEU), which accuses the Spanish law of evictions of infringing EU rules by failing to ensure effective protection of consumers from potential unfair contract terms on mortgages, shows that Spain "has been a haven for banks."
"They have had enormous procedural advantages. Meanwhile, unlike other neighboring countries, our citizens have had no protective legislation or have had the right to payment in kind ( dation), whose regulation also needs to be claimed.
Bosch also added that banks have received "substantial aid" without being required "the corresponding social counterparts.
Therefore, JPD encourages Spanish judges to perform this "pretrial motion" to the Court of Justice of the EU, and ask them to "automatically suspend all evictions and mortgage procedures at reasonable doubts about its legality." "We have asked the judges to paralyze everything. Current procedures may be invalid according to European laws," said Bosch.
