Deputies Who Opposed Expropriation
The House of Representatives approved an amendment to Article (2, Second) of the Real Estate Ownership Law of 2026, adding railways to the definition of roads. This change allows for the expropriation of up to a quarter of the property's area to establish these facilities without compensating the landowner. The approval came after widespread opposition from some members of parliament, who argued that roads benefit landowners and increase their property values, whereas railways negatively impact owners, potentially reducing land prices and fragmenting parcels, which can obstruct access. The amendment includes expanding the definition of roads to encompass, alongside streets and bridges, railways and related facilities such as platforms, overpasses, and retaining walls. The debate over the owners' right to compensation continues.
