Manu Tenorio, against the Podemos spokesperson in the ordeal to recover her house: “You are a pathetic disgrace”

The words of the Podemos spokesperson have caused tremendous displeasure in the national political debate. Manu Tenorio is overwhelmed by the problem of squatters in his house, “los inquiokupas”, as he himself has defined the tenants who have been living in his chalet in Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Cádiz) without paying rent since May 2023. With an accumulated debt of more than 10,000 euros, they refuse to leave the house. The singer has shared his drama on Y ahora Sonsoles, which is taking a toll on him personally and professionally due to psychological problems.

“It’s an ordeal. They owe me a year and a half. And do you know the worst of all, Sonsoles? They both work. They’re squatters and they don’t pay the rent. The first thing I bought with the money I earned in OT was a house for my mother. It’s my greatest pride. I’m paying for this with my guitar and my hard work. And I’ve been paying for it for 20 years.”

“This family has been deceiving me for over a year. They owe me over 10,000 bucks, man.” Maria Teresa Perez, spokesperson for Podemos, has brought this problem into the political debate on housing. “Manu Tenorio is a defaulter who is encouraging the false discourse of squatting and discrediting anonymous tenants who, according to him, do not pay him. What happens is that he has a debt with the Treasury,” she said bluntly.

“You are a pathetic piece of shit. Before giving that speech, she should have consulted me. That woman owes her voters some respect and is acting in a senseless and irresponsible manner. No one has called me,” were the words of a very angry Tenorio, who added: “Every time (my house) has been rented, it has been rented with a legal contract and with all my tax obligations up to date.” “And this woman from Podemos is a matter for the courts.”

The tenants have denied being inquiocupashave claimed that the artist has contracted a debt with the Treasury. The community of neighbors of Sanlúcar where the semi-detached house is located has positioned itself against the artist. They criticize him for wanting to evict the family to put their property up for tourist rental.

Days ago, the singer denied his alleged debts with the Treasury and accused his squatters of “lying like scoundrels.” “It’s a fallacy. I have no debts, I have deferrals like any other citizen,” he clarified in TardeAR.
