Toulouse.Georges's house, 84, is squatted: "It's a nightmare", testifies his daughter

De prime abord, rien ne paraît anormal. Pourtant si l’on s’approche un peu plus près du portail de cette grande maison, une ancienne maraîchère située route de Launaguet, dans le quartier populaire des Izards, à Toulouse, un petit mot affiché sur la grille annonce la couleur.

"We are protected by law"

"This place is our home as well as our main residence.As occupants of the building, we are protected by law.To act outside the procedural framework is to collide the principles of French law, the inviolability of the domicile according to article 432-8 of the penal code ", stipulates the missive signed by" the residents "of the house, which conclude:"There can be no expulsion without an enforceable decision of the court ”.

No doubt, therefore: the house is squatted.This building is however the property of Georges Dematis, an 84 -year -old Toulouse who lives in another house, not far from there.Tuesday October 19, 2021, as revealed by La Dépêche, several individuals broke out and took possession of the premises.

"They taunt him by hiding on him"

His daughter, Marie-Ange-very affected, as well as her father, by the situation-indicates in Actu Toulouse: “A neighbor heard noise from people equipped with circular saws.She thought we were doing work, she didn't really pay attention.They were able to open the big grids and enter the house.My dad lives next door.He went to see on the scene, they saw him and now, when he passes in front of getting his bread, they taunt him by cuckoo and company!»».

Georges's daughter adds: "It is however a house in the process of sale, which has already been walled.But this huge grid, we did not think that someone could cross it.In addition, there is an almond tree who fell this winter in front of the house, so we left him so that cars do not park in case there is an intrusion ... but they went on foot and by bicycle!", She adds.

A complaint filed

As of Wednesday morning, a complaint was filed by Georges Dematis.Who are the squatters, who would be "20 to 30 individuals", according to our sources?

« D’après la police, c’est l’ultragauche« , souligne Marie-Ange, qui ajoute : « C’est la troisième fois que cette maison est squattée en l’espace de trois ans.Three years ago, it was Afghans and two years ago, they were Romanians.Each time, the police had quickly dislodged them ”.
