English transcription of the (Platform for Mortgage Victims) PAH´s video: A message to the voters of the PP (Popular Party - right wing governing party)

"We are addressing you, PP supporter
because we need your help 
We, are not the enemy
We are not violent
let alone terrorists. What nonsense! 
We believe in justice and democracy,
In dialogue,
and in peace.
We are the evicted ones
the ones who have been robbed 
We, have been cheated.
We are citizens like yourself
we are your neighbours
your relatives
your friends.
Amongst us, there are voters of all parties.
I am a member of the Popular Party and I'm the victim of mortgage fraud. 
I trusted their claims about a change, only I thought this change would be for the better.
and now my son is getting evicted
Don't let them divide us.
Don't let them scare us.
The Government is NOT listening to us. 
But maybe they will listen to you. So we need YOU to help us deliver this message. 
The Legislative Popular Initiative has brought back hope for thousands of families.
Hope for the future,
hope for a second chance.
The Popular Party  rules the Parliament by majority.
This is why we put pressure on them.
Because only they hold the power to approve or reject the law. 
Do not let them invalidated it 
For the last four years we have stopped hundreds of inhumane evictions. 
Both, under the Socialist Party (PSOE) administration, and the current Popular Party administration. 
Europe has ruled against the Spanish eviction law declaring it illegal. 
We have exhausted all means to have a dialogue
but the Government refuses to step in. 
The ruling party sides with the Banks by only protecting their interests.
while criminalizing us, the victims.
They lie: our proposals would not lead to chaos
instead they would save thousands of families from financial ruin
and desperation.
Isn't this what truly matters?
Are we rescuing banks while drowing in debt good willed debtors?
A society that sacrifices its own people, is a sick society.
Do not let egoism win.
do not let the greed of the few triumph.
Do not let lies divide us.
We have reached our limit. We cannot wait.
We will keep on fighting for our rights,
which are your rights as well.
Help us
As we would help you if you were the one in this situation.
As we will help you if you end up in this situation. 
We are are appealing to universal principles aside from any political ideology
Because they belong to all of us.
And represent our most precious belongings:
Dignity
solidarity
justice
and love.
Let´s all unite to protect these principles
because without them, we are nothing.
Show your support to the #PrimaveraVerde (#GreenSpring) 
by displaying some green fabric our your window
by wearing something green
Spring ain´t blue
nor red
Spring is green 
the color of hope."
