Chavez called for urgent legislation to give tenants law

Caracas, 19 Mar. AVN .- The President, Hugo Chavez, called for urgent legislation to give tenants the law, so as to ensure ownership of all who inhabit for many years leased properties whose owners do not respond by conditions of the house or apartment.
Your order will be made on Saturday, from Magallanes de Catia, Caracas Sucre Parish, referring to the start of the special day Feast of Asphalt.
The president met with a family that lives in a house in sector 30 years ago, canceled rent a court and the property owner does not appear, it also is in very poor condition.
The president considered that in these cases, if at a certain time limit and warnings for the owner does not appear, the property must be transferred to former tenants.
It also suggested creating a special fund for the repair of these houses that are transferred to their tenants.
The Head of State reiterated its commitment to ensuring that in future no one in the country family that has no housing.
Social Property Services
Moreover, Chavez called on local authorities and Government to give priority to the issue of public services, such as for gas and water.
"Gas cylinders can not be in private hands, but must be transferred to people through the figure of ownership. A bottle costs 10 bolivars and sold at 25, which is a product of capitalism, speculation, so the only way to stop this is by way of socialism, with public ownership, "he said.

Concealment of assets reported by the promoter of 170 flats for O Porrino

Two years paying mortgage and rent. Farewell to the benefits of special bank accounts for housing. And the helplessness of seeing your floor so close and yet so far. For the seventy families Porriño who bought homes in the Promenade development and awaiting delivery from 2008 impotence is the queen of the senses.

They could do nothing but wait. Until now. The association has just hit a complaint for concealment of assets against the three responsible for the development company, Manuel White and his sons Eugene and Manuel Blanco Ana Longueira.

In the letter delivered to the trial court explained that the three involved approved a partial split and capital reduction Promenade Apartments SL for a new entity, E-Asdur SL The movement of assets and liabilities resulting in a change in capital of more than one million euros, a figure which grows when you consider that the shares that appeared in the two scripts linked to this case vary significantly. As stated in the complaint makes the final value of the assets of the company he built Porriño be around two million euros.

Also varies Chapter of red numbers, since in many cases are contracted with other companies which also listed as responsible members of the White family.

Bankruptcy

The interpretation of the letter and families involved in the problem is that all these moves are intended to make the company responsible has no money to respond when the dreaded bankruptcy. Supposedly, this measure would be needed later this year, because the loans in 2005 and 2006 must be redeemed in September and October 2011.

The problem is that expected for when this measure have already been two years since the split of the capital, which would have strengthened this exchange with E-Asdur SL and he could not be held liable for defaults of the previous society.

Therefore Porriño neighbors who bought their homes in the residential area near the railroad tracks waiting for the court to declare as the three defendants involved. If you consider it proven that a crime of concealment of goods, the penalty could vary from two to four years in prison.

Those affected do not fail to remember the difficult situation being experienced by families. "Many people have given all their savings to purchase your home and is now no savings and no housing. In many cases take two years living with relatives or rent, "recalls Porriño families.

The family Cosme (Alsa) amasses an emergent property empire in China

The construction of a building in Shanghai (China)

Dynasty Cosme is more focused than ever in China. After being one of the first Spanish family businesses make the jump to China with its bus business (Alsa) back in 1984, the saga of Asturias has diversified business interests in other sectors outside the transport world. After more than 20 years in the area, and an accumulated Cosmen small and strong real estate business, whose core is the promotion and marketing of over 3,000 flats.
His foray into real estate is directly linked to their activity in China through Alsa. As explained by the family in a recent private meeting, once the bus business began to generate substantial profits, Cosmos were in the position to consider the option to reinvest capital gains in the Chinese market or repatriate dividends from. The final bid was a brick for rent in large urban areas, clearly an emerging market expansion.
The decision, as explained family members in a private forum, he also had other motivations. According to Chinese law, foreign companies are subject to tax, as local companies and the repatriation of foreign exchange requires only an administrative formality. However, there is an extra 10% withholding on capital gains out of the country want, So at times, and to the strength of economic activity in China, may be an option to reinvest doubly attractive.
For years, the family policy in China has been reinvesting all the money that would generate local business, the head of which is Andres Cosmesince 1987, while his brother James Cosme acts as president from Asturias. However, from 2005, when the family decides to merge with British transport giant National Express, in exchange for 10% of the combined, just over 200 million and to continue the China subsidiary, the family decided to diversify into other non-transport fields.
No one guaranteed to Cosme, however, success in your real estate venture. As has happened before in other growing economies, the Chinese housing market is subject to a clear overheating. It reflects a recent report by China Academy of Social Sciences, which estimated the existence of some 64 million empty apartments and houses in urban areas. Ie housing stock for about 200 million people, where the urban population is less than a third of this figure.
Despite being the first shareholders of National Express, Cosme family was interested in taking full control of the company in the hands of private equity fund CVC. After giving up on this operation, the Asturian family supported the merger with the Scottish Stagecoach, which eventually was also unsuccessful. The maelstrom of mergers and acquisitions, as demonstrated after taking Enatcar or Continental-Auto, does not scare the family Asturias. Neither the Chinese market ... if not for their first steps in the housing market

Buildings in search of a destination

Interior Blasco Imprint features an advanced state of degradation

Zaragoza .- A masonry. Closed until better times. La Imprenta Blasco, Luis Buñuel Institute, Fuenclara Palace, the headquarters of San Genis ... They are part of a long list of public buildings located in the heart of Zaragoza, stranded and with no intended use by City Hall or Government of Aragon short term. The Old Quarter Zaragoza is the district which has more assets in search of employment.
The crisis, the failed plans and investment averages are mainly responsible for this "neglect" in the words of the Neighborhood Association, Historic Lanuza, which calls for these abandoned buildings are used. Its president, Javier Rodriguez, highlights the social and cultural achievement that could be given in a very needed and ensures that as longer it takes to act on them will be costing more money.
"In four years, an abandoned building of this type and age will deteriorate and the price soars for reform should begin to fix everything from the beginning," he says.
Two months to the elections is time to take action on the matter and submit a brainstorm. This week, fifteen associations of the historic launch a pre-election statement calling on parties that do not need more equipment, "Just to be fixed and use what's there, it costs less," Rodriguez insisted.
Some, like the headquarters of San Genis, Pignatelli next to the building have a concrete proposal as apartments for students and youth. However, the action "will not finish booting because the economic situation being what it is," says the president of Lanuza-Old Town.

The esplanade on the back of San Genis is used by addicts to prick

But it is the less, most have little or no definite ideas. This is the case of buildings like the former School of Arts of the square of the Sites, and the old Instituto Luis Buñuel, in the Plaza de Santo Domingo. This neighborhood association intends for them to make a dedicated center in a paint shop and other theatrical activities. "Let there be places where groups can rehearse Zaragoza, with decent space. The investment would be small because both are in good condition, "he says.
Another building is the headquarters of San Agustin near the History Center. The two ships left next to the hostel "and remain as a L would be the ideal place to make the Civic Center area," he said.
Total abandonment of Printing Blasco
One of the most shameful examples of neglect and degradation is the Imprenta Blasco, next to the square of the Ecce Homo. The museum is part of the expansion of the Tribunal Superior de Justicia de Aragón ... there have been many proposed uses for this building, but for one reason or another none has curdled. Result: The building is literally falling apart.
To avoid total ruin the Aragonese municipal group is committed to recover If you form part of the upcoming municipal corporation that emerges from the elections of 22 May. In this way, the project would have a budget to implement a printing museum and build a specialized library, a room of "paper and the senses" and the organization of educational workshops for children.
His spokesman, John Martin, complained a few days ago the "neglect" of the current government team "literally left to rot" this project.
A few meters from this building is located Fuenclara Palace, a building for which there is currently no definite proposals and is also forgotten despite its architectural beauty.
Respect to a lever that could be Zaragoza 2016's candidacy to fill these spaces and give them life, from the neighborhood association are very skeptical. Hardly believe the slogan "Culture Historic transforms" and criticized as an example, the Centro Cultural de Las Armas, which will open soon, take a tender to a private company to 20 years because there is no money to mount.
Student Minipisos in Pontoneros
One of the projects are defined in the Quarter of San Genis, located in the surroundings of the Palafox Plaza also known as Pontoneros. Minipisos hostel is scheduled for students and youth of about 30 square meters each, rented. Still no date.

St. Genis barracks could house to rent for students minipisos

The Municipal Director of Culture and Major Projects, Jerónimo Blasco, explained a few months ago and there are two rooms occupied by municipal services and the Session you want to use the other two rooms free.
The aim would be to convert this building next to the Government of Aragon in a dorm, since, according to Blasco, is the "fittest" to install equipment and "more simple and cheap."
But not only is there no public property in the historic destination. Other public buildings blatant examples of both administrations are unopened Harinera (San Jose), Gies (Sources), the former Conservatory of Music and Albareda building workshops, the latter in the Centro district. All they lack that little help that makes them go into a coma and threatened by debris.
