TL;DR
- Father Gabriel Mejía, founder of Hogares Claret, deems the December 4th eviction operation at finca Calandaima excessive and illegal.
- The operation involved numerous officials and riot police to remove 29 patients and 5 staff members.
- The SAE claims Hogares Claret had unfulfilled obligations regarding accountings and property taxes since 2022.
- Mejía states the finca was granted for precarious use 20 years ago, and the foundation invested significantly in its upkeep and operation.
- A judge ordered a temporary suspension of the eviction for the priests residing on the property, pending a ruling on a tutela action.
- The SAE maintains the eviction process was not abrupt and cites a working meeting in August 2023 where the decision to remove Hogares Claret was made.
- Mejía disputes the SAE's account of meetings and communications, calling their claims an 'infamy'.
- A subsequent judicial decision denied the priests' tutela, potentially leaving them vulnerable to eviction during holidays.
