Estibaliz Kortazar, a far-left Spanish activist, did what good comrades do, she opened her home to a North African migrant.
Once he got what he wanted, the man started sexually harassing her, insulting her, and beating her. Then he threw her out, changed the locks, and took over the house.
She called the police for help. Their response? “We can’t do anything without a court order.”
Now she’s sleeping at relatives’ houses, seeing a psychologist after a nervous breakdown, and has launched a petition to fast-track the legal process and get her home back.

Estibaliz Kortazar found out how pity backlash works lesson learned maybe?.
Con man chuckles
People in these situations make the mistake of involving the authorities.
Go extralegal early.
Well she looks stupid.
She filed a complaint with the authorities, but was told the only real option was to keep reporting the matter. By January 2025, she had launched formal legal proceedings. In March, a court issued an eviction order, but due to Spain’s Decree 11/2020 — emergency legislation introduced during the pandemic to protect vulnerable tenants — the eviction was suspended until the end of 2025.
Unable to continue living with the man, Estíbaliz moved in with her brother in June and is currently on medical leave, undergoing psychological treatment. “He’s a psychopath, and his only goal is to ruin my life,” she said. “He’s not right in the head. He hasn’t attacked me yet, but I’m afraid he might.”
Feel good story of the day.
The historic La Gaîté Lyrique, a renowned cultural venue in Paris’s 3rd arrondissement which prides itself on its progressive agenda, is facing financial ruin after opening its doors last month for a conference promoting open borders — only for the migrants who attended to refuse to leave and occupy the building ever since.
The theater was forced to shut down after the forced occupation on Dec. 10, when a group of approximately 250 migrants took over the building following an event entitled, ‘Reinventing the welcome for refugees in France.’
The occupation was organized by the activist group Collectif des Jeunes du Parc de Belleville, and the number of squatters has since swelled to over 300.
It has led to the cancellation or relocation of all scheduled events until Jan. 24 at the earliest, causing significant financial strain on the theater.
As reported by Le Figaro, previous events at the leftist venue have included debates such as “Migration: What about them?,” “Migration, an opportunity for France?,” and “collective and fun workshops” to hear first-hand accounts as migrants “retrace their migratory journeys from their country of origin to France.”
The closure has resulted in what theater management describes as “heavy operating losses,” threatening the economic viability of an institution that relies on ticket sales for 70 percent of its revenue, with the remaining 30 percent coming from city subsidies. Losses are estimated to run into hundreds of thousands of euros, and the establishment is struggling to pay its 60 employees.
The occupation has also impacted the surrounding neighborhood. Elia, the manager of a nearby bistro, told The Times she had lost around €30,000 in revenue, blaming the occupation for scaring away customers.
“They are ruining my business. They hang around outside my terrace, smoking joints and fighting among themselves. Not only do we no longer get theatregoers because the theatre is shut but we don’t get passers-by either. They’re being frightened away by all these young men.”
The migrants claim to be unaccompanied minors, which under French law would entitle them to housing and support from child welfare services. However, local authorities have challenged their claims, asserting that most are adults. Age tests, which the activists have criticized as “racist and expeditive,” have reportedly verified that many do not qualify as minors. The prefecture has labeled the occupation “illegal,” though no eviction order has been issued.
Le Figaro reported that the majority of those occupying the establishment have been recognized by the Parisian social services as adults.
Despite facing financial ruin, La Gaîté Lyrique’s management has taken a compassionate stance, calling it “unthinkable” to evict the group in the middle of winter. The theater emphasized the urgency of finding “dignified and lasting accommodation solutions” for the migrants, although accepted that the occupation had been forced.
The situation has sparked a political standoff between the City of Paris and the French state. Mayor Anne Hidalgo’s administration has urged the state to provide social housing for the migrants while refusing to authorize an eviction. The state, in turn, insists that support services are available and that vulnerable individuals should contact local social services rather than occupy public spaces.
The Collectif des Jeunes du Parc de Belleville shows no sign of leaving, framing the occupation as part of their broader “antiracist and anticolonial struggle,” leaving the future of the establishment in the balance.
I don't know... you know what they say about a liberal who gets mugged.
“Stupid is supposed to hurt.” Lurker’s grandfather.
L
I know, I feel so bad about laughing at this story. I can’t stop laughing.
She ugly
Orcs Welcome
Stupid is...is stupid does.
She will have to serve notice for him to leave. If he doesn’t after the time, she has to set a date in Court. May take a while. Meanwhile, others may move in, and claim they were not notified of any court matter. She is screwed, which I honestly believe was her dream come true when he moved in.
Well, those are the rules.
Hahahaha. Serves her right. Until the idiots who invited these violent invaders in to their country start feeling the pain nothing will change.
Does it say she has a Jimmy Durante Schnozz?
