Streaming May 29-30, 2020 

Manuel Gabarre de Sus (Lawyer and Activist, Observatory Against Economical Crime. ES)

In the context of the Spanish real estate speculation, the rescue of the financial system of Spain provoked that hundreds of thousands of households were indirectly under public control. But the European Union and the Government of Spain decided in 2012 to sell these properties to opportunistic investors who came mostly from Wall Street. Since then, housing has become a casino for opportunistic investors but a hell for most of the tenants due to rent prices have risen 30 times faster than wages. Manuel Gabarre de Sus will disclose how these operations were executed and the economic, political and judicial ties of investment funds such as Blackstone or Cerberus.
