New law lets phone firms 'steal' Spanish roof tops

[El Profesor]

I can kind of understand in the case of electricity.  But high speed broadband in a country where huge numbers of people are unemployed?  Where do they get the money for the computers?  What are they going to do - join the forum?

.
There are even larger numbers of employed people.

I think it's up there with electriicity as a modern necessity. Anyway, I have a pole screwed onto the roof of my house with 8 thick electricity cables and a street lamp.
I hate to think what it's doing to my aura.
I wonder what will happen if I take it down

If you take it down you will no doubt find your aura. It will be that a big blue flash!

Whereas I get the right of eminent domain for things like roads or possibly trains, expropriating a family roof terrace is not just wrong.  It is proof that a state does not support the right to secure private property, one of the things that a successful nation relies on. 

This is appalling: an Icod resident's house was expropriated for "public works", in this case the north motorway extension and after two years he's still waiting to receive the money for it. €195,000 and they just took it ...

cuando he hablado con ellos me dicen que ahora no hay dinero

...when I spoke to them they told me there is no money now...

Appalling.  Why do citizens have no recourse in Spain?

[Janet]

They do, but something like this would involve appeals all the way up to the Constitutional Court ... and the PP has introduced a "justice tax". Pay before you go to Court or fuck off ...

(that was another of Gallardon's brainwaves ... along with revoking women's right to abortion ... ).

Because the Spanish government does not work for the benefit of the people. The people work for the benefit of the Spanish Government.
