Malaga, (EFE) the people of Malaga to follow in his footsteps.
“Are you tired of not being able to find a cheap rental in your city or of not finding a rental in your neighborhood? I bring you the solution”. This is how the video that both Rodrigo and other members of the party have shared on the networks begins and in which the candidate is seen on the landing of an apartment next to one of these padlocks, used regularly by tourist apartments so that guests can pick up the key.
The first step, explains Rodrigo, is to locate one of these padlocks, the second to have glue on hand and the third to apply it to the lock, just as he does in the video.
“And here is the solution to all your problems. Follow me for more rental tips”, says the candidate of Adelante Andalucía, Teresa Rodríguez’s party, emulating the “Bricomanía” program.
In the second part of the video, you can see images of the city of Malaga and more padlocks of this type with the superimposed voice of Luis Rodrigo, who encourages “biting for our land.”
Nearly 9,000 tourist apartments in Malaga
“How long are you going to wait? Are you going to wait for them to kick you out of your neighborhood? That they take the most beautiful thing from you and turn it into a circus?” affirms the candidate, who adds: “This is not going to be fixed with five or six, we need to go out and bite Malaga”. “You need to take a step forward. I wait for you on the street ”, he concludes.
Malaga has become one of the Spanish capitals with the highest increase in rental prices, with an increase of close to 20% in the last year, and also leads the list of cities where the supply of rental housing has fallen the most.
One of the causes that explain this situation is that many owners have chosen to remove their properties from the rental market to convert them into tourist homes.
It is estimated that there are currently some 9,000 tourist apartments in the city, of which slightly more than half, some 4,800, are located in the center of the capital, where there are already more properties for tourism than registered people, some 4,260. EFE
