The Councillor of the Mijas Town Hall, Miguel Gonzalez Berral Romero and Ana Skou head of the Foreigners Department attended the event with the aim of informing and discussing the pros and con of the Decree 2/2012 of the 10th of January, which regulates building rights in Andalucía. Skou commented “I learnt a lot and found the seminar very interesting” she also added “The Mijas Foreigners Department will be organising an informative talk in English called ‘How to Legalise Your House in Mijas in the near future’. The information regarding dates and times will be published nearer to the time.

The councillor stated “I think this Decree has arrived late in respect of the current situation” and added “the whole regulation on this matter does not contemplate the reality of the countryside of the Costa del Sol”. “The relaxed policy has finished and controls are being implemented by the new administration, nevertheless, we must find a global solution with the Regional Government to solve this ongoing problem”.

We must insist on stopping any illegal construction and we must put a stop to politicians looking the other way.
