Abstract

GIRADO, Agustina. "We are the victims, not the offenders": rethinking the Spanish housing problem based on the experience of the Platform of People Affected by the Mortgage of Madrid. Territ. [online]. 2023, n.48, pp.1-.  Epub Oct 05, 2023. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.11504.

In the present work, it is proposed to investigate the particularities that the Spanish housing problem assumes, emphasizing the experience of struggle and work of the Platform of People Affected by Mortgage. From a research stay developed in the city of Madrid, the centrality that the platform assumes will be addressed to stress the hegemonic narrative regarding the housing crisis and enable collective processes so that the people who participate can stop blaming themselves, conceiving themselves as victims. In this way, it is interesting to analyze the ways in which this category is mobilized in the claim of the right to housing and in the generation of a political commitment with housing demands that are inscribed in the public scene.

Keywords : Housing problems; collective action; victims; rights; Spain.
