Madrid (EFE) end of the legislature.
Belarra, who closed this Sunday the event organized by Podemos “Living is not surviving. Housing is a right”, he wanted to send a clear message to the PSOE: “We cannot waste the last year of the legislature clearing the balls thrown by the right”.
“We have an obligation to govern and govern and to take advantage of this Government until the last minute to address the structural problems of housing. And if it has not been approved in the last three years due to a commitment to social rights, let them do it at least because of electoralism ”, he has stressed.
After the Housing law is the next battlehorse that the coalition partners must face in the coming weeks and after the harsh clashes with the socialists with the law that only yes is yes, the minister of Podemos has also made it explicit that Spain “needs more progressive governments in the next four years.”
In fact, although in the last hours the minister herself and the spokesperson for United We Can in Congress, Pablo Echenique, had denied progress in the Housing law and had even spoken of “setbacks”, Belarra did not want to mention today the state of the negotiations and has limited itself to pointing out the urgency of the rule and the need to intervene in the real estate and rental market.
The housing law, “very close” to its publication in the BOE
From Malaga, the Minister of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda, Raquel Sánchez, has assured that the Government is “very close to being able to bring to the Official State Gazette” (BOE) the first state housing law, which includes measures such as the cap to rentals in stressed price areas.
In an act of the PSOE, Sánchez has defended that it is a “basic and necessary” norm and has appealed to the progressive forces of the country to support it “so as not to disappoint the people” and “not to lose the opportunity” to endow Spain of a Law for the Right to Housing.
“We are very close to being able to bring that housing law to the BOE. As Ramón Rubiales said, in a democracy the revolution is the day we bring laws to the BOE, and we are going to do that”, Sánchez stated.
The new legislation, the minister has detailed, will allow “protecting the public housing stock” and controlling increases in rental prices, “will put a brake on” large holders and will offer advantages to small owners who put their apartments in the market at an affordable price.
Through this law, the Government also intends to articulate programs with the municipalities to build social housing in a public park and create the conditions for the private sector to promote affordable rental apartments.
“That is what we want to do, reverse that wild and arbitrary model in which the PP installed us,” said Raquel Sánchez.
