Valencia (EFE) communities to attack the Government” by threatening not to apply the Housing Law.
This was stated by Puig to questions from journalists after the inauguration in the City of Arts and Sciences of Valencia of the Municipal Conference of the PSOE, which brings together candidates and socialist mayors until this Sunday, when it will be closed by the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, together with Puig himself and the vice mayor and socialist candidate for Mayor of Valencia, Sandra Gómez.
“It is surprising that before a law is approved, it is already announced that it will not be carried out, it is quite incredible,” criticized Puig, who has criticized that the autonomous communities “move at the indication of Genoa, without autonomy own to decide what is good for them”.
THE RENTAL PROBLEM
He has said that he is “clear” that in the Valencian Community there is “a serious problem due to rents and the lack of access to mortgages” and has urged “to do something. What cannot be done is to do what the PP did for so long when it governed, which is to do nothing or support those who created this situation”.
“I think that the Housing Law is a step forward”, he stressed, and recalled that the Law on the Social Function of Housing was approved in the first legislature of the Botànic “to stop many evictions”.
However, he has considered that “we must go much further and invest more in public rental housing, in the regeneration and rehabilitation of neighborhoods” and has concluded that it is “incredible that the autonomous communities are instrumentalized by the PP to attack the government.
RECOGNITION TO VALENCIA
The president has highlighted the “recognition” for the city of Valencia, which means that the meeting is held in the Valencian capital, which he has referred to as “a space for alliance and coexistence of interests in favor of the majority, a territory open, where you can live and work as happily as possible.”
Asked if he has missed references to Valencian demands such as regional financing or the transfer at the inauguration, he has assured that the PSOE has “an agenda based on the problems of the people, which are linked to employment, health, housing.”
Also, he said, “to structural issues such as the supply of financing resources or water”: “that is always part of our agenda.”
Regarding the absence from the Conference of other regional presidents, he stressed that “today is a day of a municipal nature” and that “the mayors and candidates are the protagonists”, for which he said he did not see “any problem” in that other colleagues have “their agendas”.
THE COMMUNITY IS NOT A TROPHY
On whether Valencia and the Community will be decisive at the state level, he lamented that “what the PP does is try to place the Valencian Community as in the past, and as if it were a trophy.”
“It is not a trophy, what we are playing these days, in future elections, is whether we go back to the past, to that of corruption, of the massive cutback in rights or if we continue advancing through social dialogue, generating trust and credibility”, has defended.
For the president, the PP “does not have a project for the Valencian Community, but an action “permanently based on insolvency, opportunism and immorality”.
