Several members of AUAN, together with Helen and Len Prior (whose house was demolished by the Junta de Andalucía in 2008), were present at a Statement to the EU Petitions Committee on 14th April 2011. The PSOE rebuttal suggests that '...One can resort to the courts and the European-Spanish judicial system which is perfectly suited to all standards and European requirements and that is where one has to resolve these issues. And so, perhaps the committee would no longer be an instrument in the hands of highly pedestrian and flagrant demagoguery than what we are seeing now, practiced by citizens who are fooling themselves, building illegally on protected land and then coming here to complain that Spanish law, which respects Community law, knocks down these houses or declares them illegal'. Pesky foreigners, hey?

I thought Helen Prior explained her case very well. Shocking state of affairs. Can't see anything happening in their lifetime though

30% unemployment in Andalucía. I wonder why.
No, wait, it's coming to me...

DENISE WALTERS

What they fail to acknowledge is that they were given permission. %here is no mention of the legality of the paperwork they have or the responsible parties.
