Through the media and through this letter, I would like to address the three political parties (Ganar Totana Izquierda Unida, Partido Popular y Ciudadanos) that have provisionally approved the PGMO or what is the same, the Urban Plan for Our people, as well as the technicians who have drafted it, to ask them for a public explanation of what they are going to assume or what consequences the fall in heights included in said Plan will have.
I do not intend to prosecute the attitude of the political groups in the City Council, so I address them devoid of any connotation other than that of citizen, that of taxpayer and that of neighbor affected by the reduction of heights, in search Of information that denies or ratifies that we are going to be seriously harmed.
I live in Calle San Antonio, in a second-floor home that, like so many others, I acquired with the effort of my work, mortgaging myself for years and that was the only good of relative value that I could have inherited my children.
And I say that it was a good of relative value because, it seems, with the approval of the new Urban Plan, it is out of order or standard.
That this new catalogation is nothing more than the desire of the Administration that my house does not extend its existence beyond what can be expected of it and the state of life of the elements that compose it.
That as a result of this new urban planning of my dwelling and until its disappearance, I will only be able to do repair and conservation works that require the strict conservation of habitability, but not modernization or consolidation works that are considered can increase its value.
That as a consequence of the definitive approval of the PGMO the loss of value of my house will be automatic being impossible to sell a building that is out of order or standard, destined to disappear.
But also, as stated in Royal Decree 716/2009 of April 24, I can not use it as a guarantee to obtain a loan or endorse my children if they needed me.
It will also assume that my ability to buy or consume other goods will be seriously impaired as my solvency is reduced.
I wanted, therefore, to see what happens with the constitutional right to property and art.
33 of the Constitution, says that no one may be deprived of his property except for a justified cause of public interest or social interest, and the first conclusion that has come to my mind is that fifteen councilors in a plenum and some technicians have Decided without consulting the many affected neighbors, that cause us serious economic and moral damage is of public utility and social interest.
And then I have wondered what the criteria followed by these men and women representatives of the people who, without taking us into account, have decided to impose their particular and peculiar way of understanding urban planning in Totana.
I wonder what criteria have been followed by municipal technicians so that in the same street and a few meters between buildings, some neighbors are respected their homes with two or more heights and others are declared out of standard our second floor housing.
What technical criteria or based on the fair distribution of benefits and burdens of urban planning will have followed.
I wonder how the treatment of the urban development agreements contained in the PGMO has been.
Our houses and buildings can last for 30, 60 or 100 years, during which time there will even be other councilors who will devalue what they will now approve of Ganar Totana IU, PP and Citizens, but the truth is that the day after the Approval of the PGMO as it is without the new urban plan declaring incorporated our homes, something for which the councils are empowered, the homes of those affected will lose value, we will not be able to sell them, we can do works to prevent them from falling apart and Little more and we will not be able to use them like guarantee or aval and until their disappearance.
We deserve it and demand a clear explanation.
We are many harmed by this measure and we need to understand the justification of this rule.
It is about our homes, the fruit of our work of our effort and our savings and it would be intolerable if someone wants to play with them on whim, delirium or hidden interest.
In that case, we should not remain quiet, silent and submissive.
