Then the cables that linked their façade to others fell apart and since then about 15 families have been without Internet and without a telephone. Dolores says she understands “but when they came to tell me I told them: I understand it, but that’s not my thing, as you pay, go to Telefónica or whoever it is and have them fix it, I defend my house and I will defend it with all my soul ”.
“Squats of facades”
For this reason he has had problems with the neighbors. Say what “They have insulted me; ‘bad woman’, ‘bad person’, they have told me ”. He explains that when the workers came to install the boxes, “I said no to an operator, I kept arguing with him that he didn’t want to leave and he told me that he would report me. I called the municipal, they came and said they couldn’t hook it up to the facade because it is my property ”.
