The situation became tense, this Tuesday, October 26, 2021, at 112 route de Launaguet. This is where the house of Georges is located, this octogenarian whose house intended for sale is squatted for the third time. A group of neighborhood residents, aged 20 to 40 and already mobilized for the roland’s house a few months ago, came to support Georges’ daughter. More exactly, put pressure on the squatters.
A second padlock has been placed on the gate of Georges’ house “so that they cannot go out […] these people are all owed to them, we cannot live in a world of anarchists […] we still apply the old law, it is not normal, we ask the prefect to intervene, we will stay there as long as they have not left ” explains Marie, arriving at 2 p.m. “to put the pressure on”.
Georges ‘support cuts through the squatters’ privacy screen.
A first verbal altercation between supporters of the squatters and residents forced the police, responsible only for security, to intervene so that it does not turn into a confrontation around 5 p.m. Bilel is one of the most virulent supporters, this inhabitant of La Vache is ulcerated “It’s unbearable, you have to put the pressure on and get them to leave as quickly as possible, it’s verbal and moral violence. There is no choice. The State and the town hall do nothing!”.
Georges’ supporters then cut with secateurs the plant screen installed by the squatters, the latter replied by throwing dirty water in front of impassive police officers. But rather benevolent with the inhabitants in solidarity with Georges and his family.
The squatters calm down and exchange pleasantries with Georges’ support.
“We are alone in the world” deplores Marie-Ange, the daughter of Georges Dematis who fights hard to recover the property of her father.
The squatters’ argument is simple, “they believe they are protected by law”. They even put (their?) Names on the mailbox.
However, Georges’ house is beautiful pending sale and the building permit should be posted soon, explains Marie-Ange. In view of the occupation of the squatters, the procedure is delayed and the Dematis fear that the sale will fall apart. “They closed. They don’t want to argue.”Says the owner’s daughter. Today, the Dematis family no longer has any exchanges with the squatters who refuse any dialogue.
According to Marie-Ange, the latter taunt the Dematis. “They turn, they do just that” she says, when the squatters cycle around the house. Deprived, Marie-Ange calls for help. On Facebook, she created a support page: “Support for Georges 84 years old house squatting Toulouse Minimes ”.
The prefecture indicated late on Tuesday “the the owner of the house today seized the prefect, who immediately triggered the accelerated eviction procedure which could lead if necessary to the evacuation of the premises, by administrative decision as provided for by law “.

The declaration by which the squatters claim to be legal occupiers has been torn off.
