During the morning of Wednesday, March 12, Vicent Riera 'Garrover', a resident of the municipality of Sant Antoni, received a call from a neighbor of an apartment he owns in the center of town, in Bisbe Cardona street.
«She asked me if we had rented the apartment or if we had given the key to someone,» says ‘Garrover’, who says: »I immediately went to see what was happening and found that they had changed the lock on the door, which, as it was open, I entered with a partner.»
Vicent's account goes on to explain that «inside I found a man and a woman who assured me that they thought the apartment was abandoned. I told them that this was not the case and, in good manners, we talked and agreed that they would collect their things, change the lock on the door again, leave and 'nothing happened here'».
'Garrover' recognizes that «I have sinned of good», arguing that «as soon as we have left the house, the man has changed his speech and has become more aggressive». An aggressiveness that, as Vicent explains, has led the Local Police to mediate until «we have reached the agreement that I would return at seven in the evening to close the apartment without the need to file any complaint». To make sure that the squatters would not close the door again, Vicent explains that «as I had a broken piece, I took it with me».
When the afternoon arrived, at the agreed time, Vicent explains that «I found that they were installing a new door with a few more men». At that moment, as 'Garrover' assures, «things got tense when, when I asked them what they were doing, one of them rammed me. The Local Police and the Civil Guard came, but they couldn't do anything. What's more, the squatter has dedicated himself to tease us, to laugh at everyone, saying that 'they couldn't touch him', that 'this is Spain' and that 'long live the King'. The worst of all is that neither the Police nor the Guardia Civil have been able to do anything».
«It is an old apartment of my mother's that we have to reform, because it has no electricity or water, and there is even an area that could be dangerous,« explains Vicent regarding the property, while describing the situation as ‘surreal’, to see that ‘it is so easy to change the door and the lock of a house that is not yours and nothing happens, but on the other hand, you get a fine for fixing a ’feixa' of the property».
It is not clear if he is joking or serious, but Vicent ends his story with a lapidary: «At this rate, I will end up leaving Ibiza».
