The Provincial Court of Madrid has condemned the company of the Vox deputy in the Madrid Assembly, Rocío Monasterio, for carrying out an illegal work, "violating urban planning legality", according to a sentence, against which an appeal can be made in the Court Supreme.
In this way, as Cadena Ser has advanced, it agrees with the famous television presenter Arturo Valls, who had sued it in 2019 after hiring the Monasterio studio in 2005 to rehabilitate a premises in the Lavapiés neighborhood, specifically in the Rhodes Street, 7.
The order points out that the Vox policy carried out the work "aware of its illegality", since a license was necessary, which it did not have and still carried out the project, with the aim of converting a commercial premises into a home , but without having the necessary municipal permits.
The truth is that the license had been requested in 2005, but it was archived. At that time, the study "disassociated itself from its processing" and continued with the reform of the premises.
The Monasterio company did not respond to the requirements of the technical services of the Municipal Board of the Central District to carry out the project. However, on its website, the company used that work as advertising, claiming to have achieved the change from premises to housing. "The change of use to housing was processed", could be read at the time on his internet domain.
Monasterio's defense appealed the resolution that was issued in the first instance, on July 8, 2021, arguing that the main object of the contract was not the change of use from the premises to housing, but the "rehabilitation works". In November 2022, the Provincial Court dismissed the appeal and ratified the sentence. "It is up to the appellant, as a professional, not to start said work without obtaining said licenses," the court stated.
The judgment considered that the contract was mandatory and ordered the company to pay an administrative fine of 3.838,49 euros and demolition costs of 4.205 euros. In addition, they will have to carry out the necessary works to adapt the premises “to urban legality”.
