The Junta de Andalucía has announced that it hopes to have clarified the situation for all the illegal property in the region within three months. The Secretary General for Territorial Ordination, Gloria Vega, said it was neither an amnesty nor indiscriminate legislation.

She didn’t say what would happen in the PP wins the regional elections, which all the polls are indicating, but she said that in three months, after the new legislation is put in place on March 1, all the estimated 50,000 irregular homes in all the municipalities in Málaga could be recognised.

The new legislation however makes it clear the cost of the process must be met by the owners, and in no case by local town halls.

Vega was in Málaga on Tuesday to explain the process to municipal technicians, mayors and councillors of the municipalities affected, ‘with the objective of applying the same criteria across all of Andalucía’.

Following the recent linking of platforms of those affected in the region and the threat of demonstrations against the new decree, Gloria Vega said that ‘it is not the intention of this government to modify the law so all the mountain is oregano, and so anyone can build where they feel like it’. She said that there are homes ‘which can only be used in restricted conditions, for their illegal situation and because the decree cannot modify the legality of these constructions, because the law cannot be modified’.
