migrantes latinoamericanos en España. De acuerdo con las informaciones
recibidas, muchos trabajadores migrantes habrían obtenido acceso a hipotecas
con condiciones poco acordes a su situación y, dada la crisis económica y su
particular vulnerabilidad al desempleo esa población migrante estaría
particularmente afectada por la imposibilidad de pagar sus créditos y los
resultantes desahucios, expresándose preocupación por la aparente falta de
medidas específicas para proteger su derecho a una vivienda adecuada.
