Dieter Huke tells us that he finds himself in a situation which he could not imagine happening in an European country. In 1998 he purchased an apartment from Greenlife in Marbella in the Rio Real Playa urbanisation which consists of 9 blocks and 60 apartments in total.example of a person trapped by buying an illegal property unawares comes from Marbella.In 2004 the licence to build the last three of the blocks was cancelled and since the Andalucía High Court has called for the demolition of the buildings. He says that now at the age of 71, with his health affected by skin problems as a result over the past two years, he needs to move into a nursing home, but that is only possible by selling his apartment.However sale is impossible unless the development is legalised. He says the politicians of Andalucía are arbitrarily destroying his life, and he considers that all parties are as bad as each other, starting with the GIL party and their successors in the Marbella Town Hall.Dieter observes that in many countries it is ecological calamities which ruin the lives of its inhabitants, while in Andalucía is done by corrupt politicians and incompetent administrations.
