PRESENTATION OUTLINE
PROBLEM
INTRODUCTION
HOOK (a question or statement made at the beginning to catch the audience’s attention):
Imagine returning to your home only to find it occupied by strangers who claim it as their
own. How would you react?
Main idea: Presentation of the problem.
In Spain, the persistent issue of squatting not only highlights the country’s struggle with
housing shortages but also exposes deep-seated societal and economic fractures. As one
of Europe’s most affected countries by the housing crisis, Spain's squatter population
reveals much about the intersection of law, human rights, and social welfare.

Note: You can mention similar problems around the world to offer a bigger perspective or
mention people who have worked on this problem to highlight its importance.

Rhetorical question # 1 (questions asked to the audience made to present different


details, they’re asked to keep the audience’s attention and to highlight the fact that the
presentation answers these questions).
Can we afford to ignore property rights and the rule of law in the name of providing
immediate shelter? Where should we draw the line between compassion and legality?
BACKGROUND (describe the problem’s historical background and current situation).
Supporting information (The where, the how, why, when, what and who).
When did it start in the city you chose?
Squatting in Madrid became notably prevalent during the early 1990s following the
economic downturn that Spain faced in the late 1980s. However, the issue surged
dramatically after the 2008 financial crisis, which led to a significant increase in
unemployment and a sharp rise in housing foreclosures, leaving many properties vacant
and many individuals and families in desperate need of shelter.
Why did it start?
The onset of squatting in Madrid can primarily be attributed to the combination of high
unemployment rates, inadequate housing policies, and economic instability that left many
unable to afford homes. The rapid increase in property prices during the housing bubble
exacerbated the situation, creating a stark disparity between the availability of affordable
housing and the needs of the city’s population.
Who/ what caused the problem? (Example: a company, a war, a recession)
The problem of squatting in Madrid was significantly caused by the Spanish recession and
the subsequent financial crisis of 2008. These economic shocks severely affected the real
estate market, leading to an abundance of vacant homes as people were unable to keep
up with mortgage payments. Additionally, the lack of effective government intervention in
housing policy during and after the crisis contributed to the problem.
Who is currently affected by the problem?
Property owners who face legal and financial challenges in reclaiming their property.
Neighbors and communities experiencing possible declines in property values and safety
concerns.
Squatters themselves, often including families with children, who live in precarious and
sometimes unsafe conditions without legal rights to the properties they occupy.
Local governments tasked with addressing both the legal implications and the
humanitarian aspects of squatting.
What will/ would be possible consequences?
Further Legal and Social Strain: Continued squatting could lead to more intense legal
battles and social strife, as property owners and squatters clash over rights and
occupancy.
Impact on Housing Market: Persistent squatting might deter investment in real estate,
affecting the overall housing market’s stability and growth.
Degradation of Community Trust and Cohesion: Communities may experience divisions
and reduced trust among residents, impacting community life and cooperation.
Worsening Conditions for Vulnerable Populations: Without proper legal frameworks and
support, squatters may face increasingly precarious living conditions, exacerbating issues
related to health, safety, and overall well-being.
Note: Offer relevant information, analogies, examples, data.

SOLUTION
Rhetorical question # 2 (questions asked to the audience made to present different
details, they’re asked to keep the audience’s attention and to highlight the fact that the
presentation answers these questions).
is it fair to override the rights of property owners in the pursuit of solving housing crises?
How do we ensure justice for all parties involved?
PROPOSAL (Who is working towards a solution? Are there problems working with similar
problems in other cities that you’d like to try? How do they work?).
_________________________________________________________________________
Step 1 Streamline Legal Processes: Simplify and expedite the eviction process for cases of
illegal squatting while ensuring due process and support for vulnerable populations.
Step 2 Vacant Property Tax: Introduce a tax on vacant homes to incentivize owners to
either sell or rent out their properties, similar to what has been implemented in
Vancouver.
Step 3 Community Housing Projects: Develop community-led housing projects that involve
residents in the management and upkeep of their living spaces, fostering a sense of
ownership and responsibility.

CONCLUSIONS
Rhetorical question #3 (questions asked to the audience made to present different
details, they’re asked to keep the audience’s attention and to highlight the fact that the
presentation answers these questions).
Is it fair to reward squatting when many work hard to afford their living space? What
message does this send about the value of law and order?
Note: This is a good moment to relate the issue to your personal experience. Why is this
problem important to you or to other people? Why is it important to work towards a long-
term solution?
