Gloria Olmos addresses the housing crisis and lack of effective policy

Gloria Olmos, a criminal and legal aid lawyer with over thirty years of experience in Mallorca, discusses the critical state of housing. As a voluntary legal advisor for the Platform for People Affected by Mortgages (PAH), she describes the current housing situation as lamentable due to a lack of effective policies.

Olmos highlights extreme cases of housing precariousness, including families living in single rooms, the rental of hallways, and the use of uninhabitable spaces like garages or basements. She notes that the lack of regulation has allowed for the exploitation of vulnerable populations, including illegal subdivisions where essential services like water and electricity are cut off.
