In Soyapango, more than 5,000 residents of the Primero de Diciembre community—who built their neighborhood from scratch in 2004—are now facing eviction after the real estate company Quebec S.A. claimed ownership of the land, pressuring families with unaffordable contracts despite lacking legal proof. Backed by the Ministry of Housing, the company’s actions highlight a broader pattern identified by groups like MILPA, with over 11,000 families in El Salvador threatened by similar land disputes and state-supported displacement.
