Raquel Catalá, the housing judge who is tightening the screws on the Administration so that it does not evict without providing a stable alternative
Tired of having their cars repossessed, she is now appealing to the European Court of Justice to clarify whether, in the event of eviction, governments must prioritize fundamental rights over administrative ones.
Raquel Catalá has been working at Madrid's number 29 Contentious Administrative Court for four years, bringing a high level of energy and productivity to the role. She has significantly reduced the court's backlog of cases, which had previously accumulated in large piles of files. Catalá has consistently ruled against evictions, often rejecting their execution to prevent people from being left homeless.
She believes that vulnerable families, including those with limited financial resources or dependent minors, should not be evicted without being offered a stable alternative housing solution.
