Vicente Aleixandre's principal heiress on the negotiation to promote the Nobel Prize winner's home: “Madrid has acted behind my back” | Culture | EUROtoday

Amaya Aleixandre, the bulk heiress, with 60%, of the home of her uncle, the poet and Nobel Prize winner for Literature Vicente Aleixandre, has this Monday thrown a bucket of chilly water on the announcement made by the Community of Madrid this summer time, when the Minister of Culture, Mariano de Paco, assured that the Government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso was going to purchase the poet's dwelling, Velintonia. “The Community of Madrid has acted behind my back, in collusion with the other owners of the property, who lack scruples, and without my previously accepting either the sale or the purchase price,” she mentioned this Monday in a press launch that contrasts with the model of the regional authorities, the place a high-ranking supply assures that the provide to accumulate the property for 3.2 million euros had been accepted by all of the heirs.

These phrases from Aleixandre, the second cousin of the final Spanish poet to win the Nobel Prize for Literature (and the second in the complete historical past of the award together with Juan Ramón Jiménez) come after it grew to become clear final week that her place places the plans of the Community in jeopardy, as EL PAÍS reported. The operation now depends upon a courtroom as a result of the proprietor of 60% of the home sees the three.2 million euros allotted by the Community to shut the operation as inadequate, an quantity that’s accepted by the opposite 4 heirs, from the Usera Estirado household, grandchildren of a cousin of the poet, who’ve the remaining 40%, at a fee of 10% every.

In his writing, Aleixandre provides that “the procedure by which he intends to keep this property [la Comunidad] I don’t think it can be legally admissible.” “I don’t know if the CAM has noticed this, as it is possible that it is not an expert in the procedures linked to auctions.” This refers to the fact that the last public auction of the property, held in July and which was deserted, established an appraisal price of 4,561,750 euros, with a minimum bid starting at 3,193,225 euros. The majority owner then assured that the Community had decided to apply a provision of the Civil Procedure Law (LEC) that allows the property to be awarded “to the third party who improves the bid by offering an amount greater than 70% of the appraisal value.” For this reason, the regional Administration deposited 3.2 million in the court.

However, the author's niece Destruction or love The regional administration considered that the auction rules excluded this possibility, and that the regional administration's offer should have been made during the bidding process, and not when it was closed, according to Aleixandre and his lawyer.

As for the other hot issue regarding Velintonia, whether the Ministry of Culture has interfered in the negotiations with a counteroffer, as the Director General of Cultural Heritage and the Office of Spanish of the Community, Bartolomé González, said on Wednesday, Amaya Aleixandre comes forward: “The first to contact me was the Ministry of Culture. When the CAM informed me of its intention to buy the house, I had already held a meeting with the ministry, so in no way can it be said that the ministry has interrupted the negotiations with the CAM. Rather, it could be said that the opposite has happened.”

Although one source estimates the counteroffer at 3.5 million euros, compared to the 3.2 million euros from the Community, the ministry denies having made any offer. Both the heiress and a spokesman for the central government acknowledge that the two parties met on 3 September.

The interest of the Administrations in buying the house of Vicente Aleixandre, where the generation of 27 lived and which was closed when the poet's sister died in 1986 (Aleixandre had died in 1984), has accelerated in recent months because they want Velintonia to have a second life in 2027, when it will be 50 years since the awarding of the Nobel Prize and 100 years since the forging of the generation of 27, which the Civil War destroyed. However, three years after those anniversaries, Velintonia is a house eaten away by weeds in its garden and very deteriorated inside.
