Last minute reprieve

THE eviction of a family in El Rafal, Palma, was halted halfway through proceedings during the morning of Tuesday, July 18, following a last minute court reprieve.

The family consisted of seven members, including two children and their 64year ­ old grandmother, who suffers with heart problems. According to the family, they had a valid rental contract which expired in 2025, but the owner of the house had suddenly decided to terminate it.

After eviction procedures were followed, the family had been due to leave the house on Monday, July 17. at midnight on Calle Pare Bartomeu Salvà. Among the enormous haul seized by the police were sunglasses, bracelets, football

As they had not left, National Police officers, a locksmith and a member of the judicial commission arrived to carry out the eviction.

Waiting outside the door was a small group of people belonging to the Stop Deshaucios (Stop Evictions) platform.

Joan Segura, spokesman for said platform, negotiated with authorities and finally, after a family member sent a letter to the court, the eviction was suspended for two months due to the involvement of minors.

The city council stated that the joint operation between the National Police Force and the Palma Local Police took place “without any kind of incident.”
